CONTACTLESS MASSAGE DEVICE AND MAGNETIC THERAPY METHOD FOR TREATING ORGANISM TISSUES Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: medicine; medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has unclosed magnetic conductor line at the ends of which two identical permanent flat magnets are mounted at given distance with their different polarity poles matching each other manufactured from neodymium-iron-boron alloy. When implementing magnetic therapy method, patient organism tissue is placed in air space between the permanent magnets of the massage device. The tissue is penetrated by uniform magnetic field of constant intensity allover the tissue depth. When moving the massage device along organism tissue in perpendicular to magnetic field force lines, inductive currents being in proportional dependence with respect to the motion speed arise in the tissue. Inductive currents I in tissues interact with electromagnetic field of the massage device causing electrodynamic mechanical forces to arise in tissues, their direction being the same as that of massage device movement. The movements are created as reciprocating or curvilinear like circular movements as a result of which mechanical forces periodically change their direction. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment. 7 cl, 2 dwg
