Abstract
An apparatus for therapeutically treating carpal tunnel or hand/wrist injuries using ultrasound. The apparatus (10) includes at least one ergonomically constructed ultrasonic transducer configured to cooperate with a placement module or strip for placement in proximity to the carpal tunnel or hand/wrist injury. The apparatus (10) also utilizes a portable, ergonomically constructed main operating unit (12) constructed to fit within a pouch (18) worn by the patient. In operation, at least one ultrasonic transducer positioned adjacent the carpal tunnel or hand/wrist injury is excited for a predetermined period of time. To ensure that at least one ultrasonic transducer is properly positioned, and to insure compliance with a treatment protocol, a safety interlock (70) is provided to prevent inadvertent excitation.
