METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF DIABETIC ANGIOPATHY OF LOWER EXTREMITIES Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves improving microcirculation condition by exposing patient to centrifugal force action in head-to-lower-extremity direction. Centrifuge rotation speed is 36-42 rpm. The treatment mode is determined by achieving and supporting gravitational hyperemia of lower extremities and increasing regional blood circulation shown in foot photo plethysmography coefficient measured as where AP_syst is the systolic arterial blood pressure, A is the blood filling amplitude calculated as difference btw (A_max) maximum and (A_min) minimum values of pulse wave, 100 is the magnification coefficient. Lower extremities muscle work is carried out concurrently with rotation applied to cause required venous blood discharge from the lower extremities. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; repaired foot and crus trophic maintenance.
