Abstract

A vibratory transducer for medical application is disclosed. The vibratory transducer has an armature suspended in a magnetic field. The armature has a plurality of electrical conductive paths to provide electrical current flow in said armature to react with said magnetic field and cause movement in the armature controlled by variation in the electrical current flow. A contact surface is secured to the armature, with a surface area for frictionally coupling to a corresponding surface area of a patient for example. Movement of the vibratory transducer induces movement in the patient, and the transducer can produce movement in the contact surface in at least two dimensions simultaneously. A plurality of compartments, that are adapted to surround and closely conform to a limb of the patient, are able to apply a pressure stimulus at particular locations around the limb. Medical application can include treatment of bone fractures, oedema, and in elastography, amongst other applications.
