The Physical Conditions of the DistantElectrotherapy Application in Patients with MetallicEndoprosthesis

Overview

It is known that distant electrotherapy achieves extraordinary effects in decrease of pain, improvingthe functional performance and stimulation of growth, regeneration, and healing processes. Themethod of distant electrotherapy obtains fixed position at the pain relief in the area of locomotionapparatus.However, it is also possible to use distant electrotherapy in the treatment of osteoporosis,fractures, microvascular and nervous diseases, ulcus cruris etc. In the presence of endoprosthesisand/or other metallic materials questions arise, whether the application of the distant electrotherapyis in the accordance with physical conditions. The performed evaluations and experiments show thatphysical conditions comply with these conditions.
