Abstract

The apparatus has independent transducers operated simultaneously to produce low frequencies applied to the tissue to be treated. One of the transducers operates at fixed frequency e.g. 1 Mega Hertz, while the others each operate at variable frequency ranging from 1 to 150 Hertz. The apparatus also has independent current generators, a pulse synchronizer circuit, and controls for time, balance, sweeping, etc., of the applied frequencies.

Description

Aparato de terapia ultrasónica interferencial.Ultrasonic therapy device interferential

Sector de la técnicaTechnical sector

La presente invención está enmarcada en el área de la salud y la fisioterapia. Se refiere a un aparato de terapia ultrasónica que permite su aplicación terapéutica en modalidad interferencial.The present invention is framed in the area of health and physiotherapy. It refers to a therapy device Ultrasonic that allows its therapeutic application in modality interferential

Estado de la técnicaState of the art

Los fisioterapeutas utilizan los ultrasonidos como un amplio agente terapéutico, antiinflamatorio, antiedema, miorrelajante, analgésico y osteogénesis, basado en los efectos mecánicos y termales de los ultrasonidos sobre el tejido biológico. Es una de las técnicas de electroterapia clínica más utilizada.Physiotherapists use ultrasound as a broad therapeutic agent, anti-inflammatory, anti-edema, muscle relaxant, analgesic and osteogenesis, based on effects mechanical and thermal ultrasound on biological tissue. It is one of the most used clinical electrotherapy techniques.

Los aparatos existentes actualmente de terapia por ultrasonidos en el campo de aplicación de la fisioterapia transmiten de manera 20 continua o pulsátil energía ultrasónica de baja intensidad mediante un único transductor que el fisioterapeuta aplica sobre la zona del paciente.The existing therapy devices by ultrasound in the field of physiotherapy application continuously or pulsatically transmit ultrasonic energy of low intensity through a single transducer that the physiotherapist apply on the patient's area.

La terapia interferencial consiste en la superposición en el área patológica de dos radiaciones idénticas pero de frecuencias ligeramente diferentes que generan batidos de baja frecuencia de amplitud
modulada.Interferential therapy consists in the superposition in the pathological area of two identical radiations but of slightly different frequencies that generate low frequency shakes of amplitude
modulated

La generación de un campo interferencial con objetivo terapéutico se ha utilizado únicamente mediante la superposición de corrientes alternas de frecuencia media en el rango de 1 y 10 kHz, denominado terapia eléctrica interferencial por H. Nemec en 1950. Oficina austriaca de patentes nº 165657 y nº 163979.The generation of an interferential field with therapeutic objective has been used only through the superimposition of alternating currents of medium frequency in the 1 and 10 kHz range, called interferential electrical therapy by H. Nemec in 1950. Austrian Patent Office No. 165657 and No. 163979.

Sin embargo actualmente no existen antecedentes de ningún aparato que permita la generación de un campo interferencial de naturaleza ultrasónica, mediante el uso de dos transductores de ultrasonidos independientes, de uso simultáneo y ligeramente desfasados en frecuencia.However, there is currently no background of any device that allows the generation of a field Ultrasonic interferential, by using two independent ultrasound transducers, for simultaneous use and slightly outdated in frequency.

La terapia ultrasónica interferencial permite en comparación con la técnica tradicional la ventaja de un mayor efecto en profundidad, aplicación de batidos de baja frecuencia ultrasónica, enfoque bidireccional del tejido y mayor efecto de resonancia endógeno en el tejido además de las características específicas que ofrece la naturaleza física de los ultrasonidos. Las indicaciones terapéuticas son las mismas que la terapia ultrasónica tradicional.Ultrasonic interferential therapy allows in comparison with the traditional technique the advantage of greater depth effect, low frequency shake application Ultrasonic, bi-directional tissue approach and greater effect of endogenous tissue resonance in addition to the characteristics specific offered by the physical nature of ultrasound. The Therapeutic indications are the same as ultrasonic therapy traditional.

Explicación de la invenciónExplanation of the invention.

La presente invención se refiere a un aparato de terapia ultrasónica interferencial que permite la aplicación terapéutica en patología articular y músculo esquelética en modalidad interferencial mediante el uso simultaneo de dos transductores independientes. Uno de ellos es de una frecuencia fija portadora de emisión de 1 MHz . En el otro la frecuencia es entre 1 y 150 Hz superior sobre la misma portadora de 1 MHz. La superposición de ambos frontalmente en el tejido produce una baja frecuencia de amplitud modulada de 1 a 150 Hz. La instrumentación del equipo consta de dos transductores que están conectados por sendos cables coaxiales a la unidad principal. Control de intensidad, control del balance, control de tiempo, control de frecuencia de batidos de 1-150 Hz, selector de continuo o ráfagas sincronizadas.The present invention relates to an apparatus of ultrasonic interference therapy that allows application therapy in joint pathology and skeletal muscle in interferential mode through the simultaneous use of two independent transducers. One of them is of a frequency 1 MHz fixed carrier carrier. In the other the frequency is between 1 and 150 Hz higher on the same 1 MHz carrier. overlapping both frontally in the tissue produces a low amplitude frequency modulated from 1 to 150 Hz. Instrumentation of the equipment consists of two transducers that are connected by two coaxial cables to the main unit. Control of intensity, balance control, time control, control milkshake frequency of 1-150 Hz, selector continuous or synchronized bursts.
