FIELD: medical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: device has massage instrument connected to sensitive element for measuring massage action intensity and executive mechanism allowing movement control. The executive mechanism is designed as two-dimensional matrix comprising periodically arranged executive members, bearing and protective panels. The executive members are designed as pressure chambers arranged vertically with respect to the bearing panel and having lateral walls of foldable corrugated plates. Form-giving bases are mounted on the same side with the bearing panel, and the bases opposite to them are working areas of the massage instrument movable with a corrugated plate. Electromechanical elements as electromagnetic pneumoswitchers are mounted in the form-giving bases with controllable on/off option and connected to in- and outlet canals of high and low pressure via air ducts connected in their turn to the pneumoelectric unit via high and low pressure mains to enable compressed and rarefied air supply. The canals of high and low pressure are arranged between the bearing and protective panels. The sensitive element for measuring massage action intensity comprises a row of gages mounted in a form-giving base.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment with controlled massage action.
