Definitions

  • This invention relates to apparatus for the treatment of muscular and skeletal disorders, such as injuries, diseases and other discomforts found in humans and animals, as well as the maintenance of healthy muscles.
  • apparatus which comprises a negatively charged body electrode and a positively charged floating electrode, a source of current of suitable voltage connected to a variable electrical control system which in turn is connected to an internal operating battery to provide direct current to the electrodes.
  • a suitable mains powered battery charger is provided as a separate unit for connection to the system via a DC plug and panel mounted socket for recharging the internal battery, control system and, when necessary, a 'stand-by' battery connectable to an additional panel mounted socket.
  • This 'stand-by' battery is provided for situations where the internal battery becomes depleted or malfunctions, when remote from a mains power supply for the charger, such as when treating animals in a stable. On plugging in the 'stand-by' battery, the depleted internal battery is automatically disconnected from the control and charging circuitry.
  • the batteries and charger are included in an electrical circuit's having variable resistors, condensers and the like to vary the voltage, the pulse rate of the voltage and other parameters to vary the period between stimuli. A pulse rate of from 0.5 to 1.5 seconds is the normal rate but this may be varied for special circumstances and treatments.
  • the direct current is preferably 12 volts which can be varied by a suitable rheostat.
  • a charging current of 200 milliamps has been found to be convenient and efficient.
  • Electrodes are not directly or indirectly connected to mains current, which may otherwise cause damage to the internal circuitry, and/or electrodes which have to be wetted with a salt solution for conductivity, or, most importantly, possibly present a risk to the patient under treatment.
  • the invention may be used for a great variety of purposes, using Faradic principles for the treatment of tendons, muscles, joints, sprains, dislocations, sinusitis, osteo-arthritis, nerve injuries, haematoma, fibrositis among many others.
  • the use of the apparatus causes an increase of blood to be brought to the affected zone with resulting beneficial physiological consequences.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil de traitement de troubles osseux et musculaires. Cet appareil comprend une électrode corporelle chargée négativement, une électrode flottante chargée positivement, et une batterie de fonctionnement interne destinée à fournir un courant continu aux deux électrodes. L'appareil selon l'invention comprend également un chargeur de batterie à alimentation de secteur comme unité séparée, et une prise montée sur panneau servant à recharger la batterie interne, le système de commande et, si nécessaire, une batterie de réserve.
