Filed:

May 5, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/494584

Inventors:

John Murphy - Clarksville MD, US
Rafal Szczepanowski - Hanover MD, US
Wolfger Schneider - Columbia MD, US
Richard Meyer - Columbia MD, US
Justin McArthur - Phoenix MD, US
Michael Polydefkis - Baltimore MD, US

International Classification:

A61B005/00

US Classification:

600/549000, 600/555000

Abstract:

A device operable to assess temperature response of small neural fibers. The device includes a heat source. A skin contacting probe tip that includes at least one skin contacting region is operatively connected to the heat source and operable to apply a heat to regions of skin having varying surface areas. A temperature sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the probe tip and is operable to detect a temperature of the probe tip. A controller is operatively connected to the heat source and the temperature sensor to maintain a target temperature of the probe tip.

Assignee:

The Johns Hopkins University - Baltimore MD

International Classification:

A61F 5/00

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for treating ulnar neuropathy are disclosed. An apparatus for treating ulnar neuropathy includes an inner face for engaging an arm with an upper end terminating above the elbow and a lower end terminating below the elbow; a plurality of mechanical fasteners along an edge of the inner face; an outer face having channels to promote circumferential flexibility; and a plurality of mechanical fasteners on the outer face positioned to oppose the plurality of mechanical fasteners on the inner face. A method of treating ulnar neuropathy includes placing an inner face in contact with the arm; wrapping the device around the arm to extend above and below the elbow; engaging mechanical fasters on the inner face with mechanical fasteners on the outer face; and tightening the device to support the elbow while allowing normal circulation in the arm.
