INTERNAL TRAUMAS OF JOINTS
Internal traumas of joints
- traumatic injury of joint without infringement of periarthric
capsules integrity.
Treatment with ALMAG device is to be started on the 3 day from the moment of a
trauma.
Curative effect:
rapid reduction of tissues edema, acceleration of accumulated liquid
and blood resorption out of joint cavity, increase of metabolic activity in the influenced area
due to the improvement of blood flow results in regeneration of joint tissue. The treatment
with the help of the device reduce the possibility of the formation of contraction (joint
mobility restriction).
Procedure:
Coils - inductors are placed around of the affected joint (for example, treatment of a knee
joint, see fig. 5). If two interfacing joints are injured (for example, shoulder and elbow),
inductors are placed along arm covering these joints.
Procedures are to be carried out 2 times a day.
Procedures time is 10-15 min. The course of treatment is 18 days.
In case trauma demands joint immobilization, the prophylactic course of treatment is
carried out in 30-40 days.
BRUISE OF SOFT TISSUES, HEMATOMA, POSTTRAUMATIC EDEMA
The treatment with the help of ALMAG is to be stated after the expiration of 12 hours
from the moment of trauma taking.
Curative effect:
Under the influence of magnetic field there is increase of capillary
permeability, including lymphatic ones, rapid edema resorption. Decrease of blood
coagulability in the influenced area leads to resoption of haematoma (bruise). Nerve ending
pain sensitivity reduces, the pain is going down.
The procedure:
The procedure time is 10-15 minutes twice a day. The coils - inductors are placed along
or around lesion focus. If the trauma is trivial (not large) the course of treatment is limited up
to 6-12 procedures
LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLES INJURIES
Symptoms:
the presence of
haematoma, edema, restriction of movement in the joint
because of the intensive pain.
Curative effect:
ALMAG device is applied on the second or third day after rendering
medical care, if there are stitches put in injured ligament or muscle. Procedure can be done
through dressing, even through plaster bandage. The depth of travelling pulsed magnetic
