“…Previous studies have shown both the first and fifth metatarsal heads have the most accurate accuracy for detecting diabetic neuropathy (0.86 and 0.85), respectively, compared to the dominant index finger, patella, lateral malleoli, medial malleoli, and heel. 25 Another study reported, neuropathy examination has good accuracy at the fifth metatarsal heads. 26 Detection of neuropathy in the fifth metatarsal heads at 125 Hz has an accuracy value of 1.06 (1.02-1.09; P = .01).…”

“…Today, a vibration-based cell phone assessment can be used to detect neuropathy. The use of a 128 Hz tuning fork has been reported to have an accuracy ranging from 0.77% 25 to 78.26% 26 and a sensitivity of 0.69. 27 In this study, we report the use of a vibration-based cell phone as a neuropathy test.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of a vibration-based cell phone in detecting peripheral neuropathy among individuals with a risk of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). The current study consisted of 3 phases: a pilot study, concurrent validity study, and interreliability study. A 128 Hz tuning fork and vibration-based cell phone using the Vibrations-Test app was compared in the primary care setting. The pilot study confirmed that the vibration-based cell phone has an adequate reliability ( r > 0.70, P < .001). The concurrent validity test involved 96 participants (aged 55.78 ± 8.32 years). The Pearson correlation test found the highest correlation in the fifth metatarsal heads ( r = 0.741, right feet; 0.772, left feet; P < .001). In the 4 primary care settings, the interrater reliability between nurses of the vibration-based cell phone were k = 1.000, 1.000, 1.000, and 0.720. The concurrent validity test found moderate to strong correlation results and that the interrater reliability had a strong agreement that was almost perfect. Thus, vibration-based cell phone applications can be used as screening tools for detecting neuropathy among individuals with a risk of DFU.

“…The accuracy of the tuning fork was 0.77, 10 g monofilament was 0.79, and mobile phone accuracy was 0.88. [20] C. Biothesiometer The testing is started with lower limb and upper limb. If a Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) of less than or equal to 50 V was indicated at the first location, no any other location was tested.…”

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a lifelong problem of Diabetes. The nerves that reach to the arms, legs, and feet become damaged due to high glucose level over a long period of time. It leads to loss of sensation, and sometimes pain in feet and hands. DPN increases the risk of foot ulcers and amputation. About 60% to 70% over entire humans with diabetes will ultimately generate Peripheral Neuropathy. The present study proposes different methods for detection of DPN like Touch sensation test, Pressure sensation Test, Vibration sensation test. Currently, DPN diagnosed by using three different instruments. The first is 10 g SWM (Semmes Weinstein Monofilament), second is Tuning fork, third is Biothesiometer. One more method is also used that is Nerve conduction (NC) study, which is time consuming and cost is high. Different methods have some limitation like 10 g SWM have limitations like fabricating fault and atmospheric effect. The second instrument Tuning fork has limitation like method variation means physician to physician result was varied to detect DPN. Last instrument, Biothesiometer is more expensive instrument and required a highly skilled physician. Vibration is a very important parameter to detect DPN. On the basis of vibration mechanism, level of DPN can also be identified. To overcome above limitations, a reliable, portable, easiest and valid tool is required to detect DPN.

Saat ini telah dilaporkan bahwa vibrasi handphone dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi neuropati (May et al 2016). Namun belum digunakan di klinis komunitas termasuk pada pasien luka kaki diabetes, dan kelaurga.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of mobile phone vibrations in detecting peripheral neuropathy in diabetic foot wound patients between the nurse and the patient's family. The design of this study was a pilot study with a cross sectional study approach. The study was conducted on 37 respondents in four wound care clinics in Makassar City and its surroundings. The instrument used is a mobile phone vibration using the vibrations-test application. Interater reliability analysis test used cohen's kappa test. The results showed that 67.6% of the patients did not feel the vibrations of the mobile phones performed by the nurses, while 70.3% of the patients did not feel the vibrations of the cellphones carried out by the family. Interrater reliability examination of diabetic feet using a mobile phone vibration shows an almost perfect agreement, namely (k = 0.973). The reliability of mobile phone vibrations using the vibrations-test application is quantitatively reliable. Thus, mobile phone vibrations can be used as an alternative screening tool to detect neuropathy in Diabetes Mellitus patients in the community.
