MAGNETOTHERAPY AND PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC DEVICE WITH SCANNING MAGNETIC FIELD Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: magnetotherapy and physiotherapeutic device use magnetism which ensures passage of magnetic flux of 0.05-0.35 T density through man's body and performs magnetic-field scanning of part or entire man's body in three- dimensional gradient magnetic field. Physiotherapeutic device includes couch, two magnets positioned on one side of couch, mechanical-electric transmission system, and electric control system. Magnetic field scans body of man lying on back or side on couch, while two magnets positioned at definite height and actuated by control panel move horizontally along man's body. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 11 cl, 5 ex, 8 dwg
