Ultrasound therapy, along with electrical stimulation therapy, is one of the most common forms of treatment in physiotherapy. Therapeutic ultrasound is applied at frequencies of 1 MHz or 3 MHz as continuous or pulsed sound at various duty cycles. Due to its multifaceted effects, ultrasound therapy is classified as a form of mechanothermotherapy. Depending on the therapeutic parameters (treatment frequency, type of sound, dose, treatment duration and frequency) the focus of ultrasound treatment is either a thermal effect (heat generation at reflective tissue boundaries, e.g. bones, joints) or a micro-massage within the treated tissue segment. The effects of ultrasound therapy can be summarised as follows:
  • Hyperemia
  • Acceleration of metabolic functions
  • (Microcirculation, diffusion processes)
  • Increased elasticity of connective tissue structures
  • (collagen fibres)
  • Pain relief
  • Muscle relaxation and spasm relief
  • Acceleration of healing processes
  • Stimulation of fracture healing
 
With ultrasound therapy devices from PHYSIOMED, you can start treatment as quickly and easily as possible: direct selection via the indication index or the programme memory. During treatment, you have a constant overview of all parameters. The ‘ PHYSIOMED ’ single-button operation, tried and tested for decades, enables intuitive and rapid operation.
Comprehensive lists of indications, featuring helpful information, graphics and animations, as well as the patient database, further facilitate your use of the ultrasound system. There is a choice of two ergonomic treatment heads with a surface area of 2.5 square centimetres or 5 square centimetres, both of which are also suitable for underwater treatment. The biocompatible and extremely durable titanium transducer surface offers the highest possible safety and reliability in power delivery and prevents metallurgical deposits. Together with continuous or pulsed power delivery (4 duty cycles [1:10, 1:5, 1:3, 2:5]), the visual and acoustic coupling control ensures efficient therapy.
