METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT VIBROACOUSTIC RECOVERY MASSAGE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering; medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves controlling action intensity by arranging components possessing appropriate vibrodistributing and vibrodamping properties between patient body and transducers and/or controlling electric signal voltage at transducer inputs in corresponding mode. The method takes into account the following factors like stressed psychoemotional condition of the patient by means of combined vibroacoustic and photoacoustic action giving psychoemotional relief; stability of arisen areas under stress in the organism with respect to recovery actions by means of vibroacoustic recovery massage and by varying patient body position or position of its parts relative to transducer radiation direction within vibroacoustic massage session and/or course; patient organism addiction to repeated monotonous actions during a vibroacoustic massage session is handled with various recovery products contributing to bring diversity into vibroacoustic treatment and by varying body position or positions of its parts relative to transducer radiation direction within vibroacoustic massage session and/or course; individual psychophysical appreciation of recovery products applied is handled by determining and applying the most effective recovery products on the basis of patient preferences and/or physiological relaxation parameter plots analysis results in sessions; patient trust to vibroacoustic treatment effectiveness and potentialities of psychic power of imagination by attracting patient imagination and/or showing information about positive recovery processes taking place in the organism and/or in human organism in general under vibroacoustic massage treatment to the patient. Special purpose vibroacoustic recovery massage device is to be applied for putting the method in effect. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; full-scale involvement of body parts or the whole body in treatment without foreign assistance needed during a session. 29 cl, 5 dwg
