METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING ELECTROMAGNETIC MASSAGE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves measuring physiologic properties parameters of patient skin when doing electromagnetic massage before applying nutrient components on the skin. Low frequency pulsating complex modulation electromagnetic field is created. Electromagnetic field parameters are formed corresponding to the physiologic properties of skin, that is, modulation frequency is selected in the range of 0.3 0.8 Hz, pulse succession frequency is in the range of 3 30 Hz, harmonic components spectrum width is 500 Hz 1 kHz. A pause is to be done in the process of doing massage. Then the pulse succession frequency is to be increased up to 80 -120 Hz and the skin is additionally treated in prescribed manner. The time parameters are set corresponding to the physiologic properties of skin of the patient. Skin state sensor has two electrodes mounted on internal side of the casing flexible surface of the massage device. Electrodes are connected to inputs of control unit. Inductance coil is connected to output of the control unit. EFFECT: individually selectable massage treatment procedure parameters; maximum penetration of medicines through skin pores; improved microcirculation in subcutaneous tissular layers. 7 cl, 2 dwg
