Abstract

The present invention is a smart orthosis with the electrotherapy, thermotherapy and vibration capabilities to perform in-home physiotherapy, which is related to the area of human needs in health sections. Physiotherapy, which is prescribed for many musculoskeletal, as well as brain and nerve diseases, is mainly performed in clinics through multiple sessions, requiring a lot of time and money. Therefore, we aimed to produce this device, which is mainly established to complete physiotherapy programs outside clinics and without the need for multiple referrals of patients to receive rehabilitation services. Application of this device not only reduces healthcare costs of patients, but it also significantly promotes their health status. Another important application of this device is dermal absorption of topical drugs. On the first referral, vibrator, as well as heat and electricity systems of the device are adjusted by the therapist, so that the patient is able to use the device at home. In addition, the therapist can monitor the treatment process of patients through related website and software.

Description

SMART ORTHOSIS WITH ELECTROTHERAPY, THERMOTHERAPY, AND VIBRATION
CAPABILITIES FOR IN-HOME PHYSIOTHERAPY
Technical Field of Invention:
[0001] The present invention is related to the field of human needs in the health sector. Specifically, this invention is related to medical equipment used for physiotherapy.
Background:
[0002] Physiotherapy is one of the major branches of rehabilitation medicine used in treatment of many musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiovascular problems. In this knowledge, various techniques are applied to treat patients, one of the most important of which is physics (electricity, heat and skin vibration]. Currently, rehabilitation services are divided into two sections: center-based and home-based.
[0003] There has been a constant increase in scientific evidences suggesting the positive effects of in- home rehabilitation. Today, rehabilitation services at home are mainly network-based or provided by visit of therapists. The former method is mainly used for education, where the physician teaches the necessary moves to patients to be performed at home. In the second method (visit of therapists], presence of all modalities at the bed of patients is practically difficult. It should be noted that in the majority of cases, several physiotherapy sessions are held, which exceeds to dozens of sessions in some cases. Therefore, there is a need for frequent and time-consuming visits, which is one of the disadvantages of physiotherapy in clinics.
[0004] In addition to the required educations about physiotherapy, the major part of rehabilitation programs include exercise therapy, kinesiotherapy, electrotherapy, thermotherapy and massage. Among the mentioned items, kinesiotherapy and exercise therapy can be taught to the patients or their companions. However, provision of the ability to perform electrotherapy, thermotherapy and vibration at home can significantly decrease the visit of patients by therapists.
[0005] Orthoses are the most important means of rehabilitation, which improve muscle and joint function and decrease pain through biomechanical correction. Studies conducted on this area have shown the lack of a smart orthosis with an ability to control, which can simultaneously provide the mentioned services in a portable manner. The mentioned invention provides the opportunity for patients to perform physiotherapy sessions under the remote monitoring of their therapist after obtaining the primary educations. By creating this tool, we aimed to bring together the benefits of home-based and center-based physiotherapy through providing the possibility to perform electrotherapy, thermotherapy and vibration outside of clinics and monitoring of the treatment process of patients by the rehabilitation team. All of the mentioned benefits of this device lead to relatively low costs for the health system and patients.
Industrial applicability:
[0006] This device has been manufactured to perform a major part of physiotherapy program outside of clinics, and can be used to treat musculoskeletal pain, neurological problems and dermal absorption of topical drugs.
Best mode for carrying out the invention:
[0007] On the first referral, heating and electricity system of the device are adjusted by therapists in proportion to the condition of patients, who can then use the device on their own. Moreover, therapist can monitor the treatment process performed by patients through the control system of a software established for this purpose.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] Samples of some of the patents are presented in maps for better comprehension of the invention. However, invention is not limited to the specific methods and structures presented here. In the figures, a letter is determined for each component, which are explained in the invention description section by the same letters.

Disclosure of Invention:
[0015] According to FIG 1 and 2, this invention is a smart orthosis with electrotherapy, thermotherapy and vibration abilities in order to perform physiotherapy at home. In general, this device is comprised of four major parts, as follows:
• Heat section (A]
• Massage section (vibration] (B]
• Electrical stimulation section (C] • Control circuit (D]
[0016] The heat section (A] is designed to increase tissue metabolism and decrease pain. Blood flow increases in tissue after tissue heating, which leads to accelerated recovery of patients. In this section, silicone elements are used, which in addition to heating efficiency, have high flexibility and low eight and diameter, compared to other samples. It should be noted that this orthosis is manufactured using skin-friendly materials, such as latex and anti-allergy tarpaulins.
[0017] The massage section (B] performs the massage of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, leading to relaxation of these body parts. Therefore, a very small vibration motor is used in this section, vibration of which can be controlled by the control section (D).
[0018] The electrical stimulation section (C] is for stimulation of a group of muscles and nerves to maintain elasticity and normal state of the muscles and improve their performance. In cases of neurological damage, this method reduces muscle loss, and can improve the health state of patients, when pain is their major problem.
[0019] In nervous stimulation method, some electrical signals are sent, which are essentially similar to nerve impulses that send a healthy nerve to the muscles. This method is sometimes recognized as neurotrophic stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS] pads are used to perform nerve stimulation, with regard to the problem region of patients, these pads are placed on specific parts of orthosis, and their frequency of electrical stimulation can be adjusted by patients or therapists.
[0020] Control section (D] contains some switches to increase or decrease the massage level and adjust heat and electrical stimulation. In addition, this device can have various electrical stimulation modes. In addition to direct use of city electricity, this device can operate on batteries as well, enabling patients to use even in motion.
