Neurometer^® Podiatry Applications

 Podiatrists use the sNCT evaluation to painlessly assist in the differential diagnosis and quantitative evaluation of conditions resulting in sensory dysfunction in the foot such as polyneuropathy, radiculopathy, neuroma, focal nerve lesion and tarsal tunnel syndrome. Generally, two to three nerves are tested bilaterally to perform the electrodiagnostic evaluation of the foot. Once the podiatrist has treated the neuro-pathologic condition causing sensory dysfunction in the foot and the symptoms are resolved, no further sNCT evaluations are required for that condition. Podiatrists don't generally treat polyneuropathy or radiculopathy, so additional testing of the foot for these conditions would not be necessary and the patient would instead be referred to the appropriate healthcare provider.  See the web page with related publications cited, Selected Neurometer® CPT Research Publications Grouped by Topic and Specialty.
