METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING FOOT, LOWER EXTREMITY AND VERTEBRAL COLUMN DEFORMITIES USING MAGNETIC FIELD COMBINED WITH ORTHOPEDIC CORRECTION Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves applying combined action of magnetic field and orthopedic correction to foot sole by means of special device. The device has orthopedic base for mechanically regulating internal foot vault height, providing its support, fixing the heel in rigid instep insole bed, providing foot damping. Additional magnetotherapeutic strip is placed on the base for positioning cells containing low intensity magnetic field under reflexogenic zones of the foot. The cells are taken from accessory set supplied with the device. The low intensity magnetic field varies stage-by-stage (to 30 min long) in intensity (to 50 mTesla units) and in density (N, S). EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in treating visceral organ diseases and foot deformities by means of local magnetic field applied. 4 cl, 5 dwg
