Abstract :
The targeted application of this device is to treat CVD patients by ultrasound exposures. There are four ultrasound exposure (UE) prescriptions specifically for different CVD cases. There are also two channels of electrical stimulation (ES) in this device for muscle function restoration and peripheral nerve stimulation. A clinical trial was conducted and results are discussed
