METHOD FOR TREATING THE CASES OF SCOLIOTIC DISEASE IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves determining force, coordination and neuromyodystrophic changes in dorsal muscles from electric myogram data. Sequential stimulation of the vertebral column area with biofeedback, infrared laser radiation and vibration irritation. Electric myographic training of patients is first carried out on basis of initial electric myogram signals of biofeedback exciting alternating patient dorsal muscles contraction and relaxation to the left and right of the vertebral column, each process lasting 15 s during 30 min. Then, infrared pulsating laser radiation modulated with infra-low frequency not exceeding 3.0 Hz is applied which power is not greater than 50 J, wavelength equal to 960 nm paravertebrally from right and left side allover the whole vertebral column. Then, vibration irritator of 10 Hz frequency is applied for administering massage along spinal radices allover the whole vertebral column spending 3 min per each vertebral column segment. The procedures are given every day during 1.5 h. The total treatment course is 15 days long.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; repaired coordination of movements; alleviated pain syndrome.
