Determinação do limiar de percepção de corrente elétrica em uma amostra de voluntários normais

Abstract: Determinaram valores de referência para limiares de percepção de corrente elétrica senoidal em indivíduos normais, utilizando-se o instrumento Neurometer®; contrastaram-se os resultados com os fornecidos pelo fabricante; analisaram-se os limiares em diferentes segmentos corporais e avaliou-se o efeito da idade, sexo, grau de escolaridade e reutilização dos eletrodos. Estudou-se uma amostra de 101 voluntários normais (68 mulheres), com idades entre 17 e 87 anos. O procedimento foi completamente automatizado uti… Show more

“…We did not find gender differences at the testing site for the index finger, which is accordant with reports from Quaghebeur et al (Quaghebeur and Wyndaele, 2014 ) and Galvão Mde et al ( 2005 ). However, Takekuma et al revealed gender effects on CPT values for the index finger under stimuli of 250 and 5 Hz in a community-dwelling of 1,000 Japanese, of which males had higher CPT values (Takekuma et al, 2000 ).…”

“…The CPT device has been applied in the diagnosis and evaluation of many clinical conditions, of which diabetic neuropathy is the most common (Rendell et al, 1989 ; Katims et al, 1991 ; Rendell and Bamisedun, 1992 ; Lee et al, 1997 ; Ro et al, 1999 ; Menkes et al, 2000 ; Kurozawa and Nasu, 2001 ; Oishi et al, 2002 ; Takekuma et al, 2002 ; Cui et al, 2003 ; Prendergast et al, 2004 ; Lander et al, 2007 ; Putz et al, 2009 ; Nather et al, 2011 ; Griffith et al, 2014 ). However, more than one study has found differences between the reference values of the research subjects and those provided by the manufacturer (Galvão Mde et al, 2005 ; Quaghebeur and Wyndaele, 2014 ), and the influence of factors such as age and gender on CPT values has not been illustrated consistently among various studies (Evans et al, 1992 ; Takekuma et al, 2000 ; Tseng et al, 2002 ; Seong et al, 2009 ). Therefore, the objective of our study was to explore CPT distribution properties of Chinese subjects and to investigate different influencing factors of CPT.…”
