METHOD FOR TREATING PARKINSON'S DISEASE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B8/02 A61B5/02 

FIELD: medicine, neurology.

SUBSTANCE: at the beginning of therapy course it is necessary to supply sound impulses at frequency of 50-75 impulses/min, at period of 0.75-1.25 sec, duration being 0.3 sec, sound level of about 5-25 dBA. One should match optimal frequency out of this range at which one may observe the largest average length of patient's step at heart rate being about 100-110 strokes/min, not more. One should register the obtained frequency of sound impulses onto an audio cassette for a patient to apply while walking with the help of an audio player and a portable head-phone. In case of stabilizing a patient's state and walking values it is necessary to conduct walking trial again, moreover, sound impulses should be supplied at frequency of 80-105 impulses/min, at period of 0.55-0.75 sec, duration being 0.3 sec and sound level of about 5-25 dBA. It is necessary to detect the frequency out of this range that corresponds to the highest average length of patient's step at heart rate being about 100-110 strokes/min, not more, to be registered and applied in subsequent procedures for correcting patient's walking parameters. The innovation widens the number of techniques for treating patients with disorders of motor function.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of therapy.
