Abstract

The paper describes the design and functionality of a device for low-frequency phonoelectrotherapy. The device provides simultaneous exposure to various modes of ultrasound (frequency range, 22-44 kHz; intensity, up to 1.0 W/cm2) and electrical currents of various types and intensity magnitudes. The device makes it possible to implement a new physiotherapeutic method for simultaneous treatment with ultrasound and different types of electric current. Clinical tests demonstrated high clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of the device.
