How To Detect Hot Cold Perception In Foot Using KODYS ELITE HCP
                     HOW TO DETECT HOT COLD 
PERCEPTION 
IN FOOT USING KODYS ELITE HCP
WHAT IS DIABETIC POLYNEUROPATHY?
• DIABETIC POLYNEUROPATHY IS A DISEASE THAT AFFECTS PERIPHERAL 
NERVES. DUE TO THIS DAMAGE TO THE NERVE FIBRES, AN INDIVIDUAL’S 
ABILITY TO SENSE THERMAL (HOT), COLD, AND PAIN DIMINISHES. 
SENSITOMETER HCP
• A SENSITOMETER HCP (HOT, COLD, PAIN) IS USED TO DETECT DIABETIC 
POLYNEUROPATHY. THIS DETECTION IS PERFORMED BY OBSERVING ANY 
CHANGE IN THE LEVEL OF TOLERANCE TO HEAT AND COLD PERCEPTION IN 
THE PATIENT’S FOOT.

KODYS ELITE HCP - NEW GENERATION 
DIGITAL NEUROPATHY ANALYSER
• THE PROCEDURE OF THERMAL TESTING IS VITAL IN EVALUATING SMALL-
CALIBRE A-DELTA AND C-FIBRES. THESE FIBRES ARE THE PRIMARY 
TRANSMITTERS OF THERMAL AND PAIN SENSATION. 
• BEFORE BEGINNING THERMAL TESTING, THE TECHNICIAN APPLIES A 
THERMAL PROBE ON THE PATIENT’S SKIN TO HEAT OR COOL THE SKIN. 
• WHEN THE PATIENT REACTS TO THE TEMPERATURE STIMULI, HE OR SHE 
RAISES THEIR HANDS.
• THE SENSORY THERMAL THRESHOLD IS RECORDED WITH A COMPARISON OF 
THE NORMAL VALUES.
