Neurosensory Examination
A complete nerve check of your feet that combines every sensory test into one clear risk score, in India.
A diabetic foot neurosensory examination in India is a complete nerve assessment that combines touch, pressure, vibration, temperature and reflex testing to grade how much nerve damage is present and how high your risk of a foot ulcer has become. At Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC) it is performed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah (M.S., M.Ch., 22+ years) at our Surat, Gujarat and Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh clinics.
Why a Neurosensory Examination Matters
Diabetic nerve damage affects several types of nerve fibre, and no single test detects them all. A structured neurosensory examination brings the individual tests together into one score, so nothing is missed. The IWGDF 2023 guidelines stress that identifying loss of protective sensation through such testing is the foundation of preventing diabetic foot ulcers.
What the Neurosensory Examination Includes
- Monofilament testing for protective touch sensation.
- Vibration perception testing to grade large-fibre nerve function.
- Pinprick sensation to check pain-carrying nerves.
- Thermal sensation testing for small-fibre and temperature sensing.
- Ankle reflexes and a check of position sense (proprioception) and balance.
- Scoring with recognised tools such as the Neuropathy Disability Score to summarise risk.
Who Should Get a Neurosensory Examination
- Anyone with diabetes and numbness, tingling, burning or weakness in the feet.
- People with a previous foot ulcer, callus or amputation.
- Patients whose screening tests were abnormal and need a fuller picture.
- Those with balance problems or a changed walking pattern.
Why Choose EDFC and Dr. Ashutosh Shah
EDFC is India’s first chain of clinics devoted to diabetic foot care, so a neurosensory examination here is thorough rather than a token check. Every finding feeds into a complete diabetic neuropathy assessment and a written prevention plan, under the direct oversight of Dr. Ashutosh Shah.
What Happens After the Examination
You receive your risk grade and a clear plan. This typically includes protective footwear and offloading, foot-care education and regular re-checks through structured preventive diabetic foot care, matched to how much protective sensation remains.
