METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF CHRONIC LOWER EXTREMITY OSTEOMYELYTIS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves treating patient with centrifugal forces acting in the head-lower extremities direction. Centrifuge rotation speed is gradually increased from 32-36 rpm to 36-40 rpm. The treatment mode is determined with gravitational hyperemia in the lower extremities and increased regional blood circulation being achieved. Foot photoplethysmogram index reduction proves it. Then, measured by applying formula , where AB_sist - is the systolic arterial blood pressure, is blood filling amplitude calculated as difference between maximum (A_max) and minimum (A_min) pulse wave value, S is the area under photoplethysmogram curve, 100 is carried out concurrently with rotation of 10 to 100 W power causing required venous blood outflow from the lower extremities. EFFECT: direct influence of peripheral blood circulation; stimulated reparative osteogenesis.
