DIAGNOSTIC ELECTRODE FOR MEASURING ELECTRIC SKIN RESISTANCE IN BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE POINTS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has operation head as spherical contact surface disk, attached to a rod by means of hollow chamfer, means for fastening diagnostic electrode as cylindrical shaft with collar for thrusting against the end surface of collet chuck clamp. Rod axis is straight or bent at an angle of 45 deg in its middle part. Recess is made in working head contact surface of the electrode, the recess axis being the same as that of the working head or shifted a little towards the edge, or one or two penetrating holes are made on the lateral part of the working head. Diagnostic electrode is applied for measuring electric skin resistance in biologically active points using any of known methods and making differential measurements in a point and in the zone surrounding the point, taking simultaneous measurements in two or three neighboring biologically active points. Wide variety is provided in selecting contacting head area. EFFECT: enhanced reliability of diagnosis. 7 cl, 6 dwg
