Resumen

La neuropatía periférica (NP) es una afección causada por el daño a los nervios periféricos, responsables del movimiento de los brazos y piernas. La NP puede afectar los nervios autónomos, alterando la función sudomotora y generando piel seca y agrietada. Este artículo explora el uso de las propiedades eléctricas de la piel para medir la actividad electrodérmica (EDA) y su utilidad en la evaluación del grado de afectación de la NP. Se ofrece una visión general de la NP y las características de la señal de EDA, así como algunos modelos eléctricos utilizados para su medición. Además, se revisan estudios que relacionan la EDA con el nivel de afectación del paciente. Finalmente, se presenta el diseño de un circuito electrónico para medir la EDA, con el objetivo de desarrollar un sistema portátil capaz de monitorizar en tiempo real la conductancia eléctrica de la piel de la planta del pie, facilitando el seguimiento a nivel ambulatorio de los pacientes.
