Abstract :
Over the last years pulsed signal magnet therapy began to be used intensively in physiotherapy and orthopedics, specifically in curing and consolidation of retarded fractures. This paper presents a low frequency pulsed magneto therapy device intended to be used in medical recuperation clinics and also as a portable device needed for long repeated home treatments or for immobilized patients. The device allows the conception of new therapy signals that can be used in clinical trials in addition to the well known therapeutic signals.
