1.1 Intended
use
The device with interference current named
Stereodynator
is a microprocessor controlled electrical
stimulus device for Electro Therapy. The wide range of usage qualifies this medical device for use
in physiotherapeutic departments of clinics as well as in modern well-equipped private medical
practices.
All accessories of the previous series can also be used with the new generation in the same manner.
A suction application aid for vacuum therapy as well as a module for ultrasound therapy with
continuous and impulse ultrasound waves are optionally available. The control elements for suction
application aid and ultrasound have already been integrated in the software and can be activated by
upgrading the device.
A stereodynamic interference current is generated through the superposition of three middle-
frequency currents flowing in different directions. The stimulating lower frequencies are generated
through interference of two phase shifted circuits in the area of superposition. The additional third
circuit generates, as opposed to classical interference methods, on one side a slow change in
intensity and on the other side a rhythmic shifting of the interference field. These dynamics of the
stimulation location and the intensity decrease the habituation effect and therefore improve the
therapeutic effect. The
Stereodynator
uses the three-dimensional interference method. The special
characteristics are as follows:
•
Local stimulation effect.
•
Multi-site stimulation effect.
•
Intensity dynamics.
•
Dynamic behaviour of stimulation site coupled with endogenous/exogenous stimulation shifting.
Programs improve the handling: The
Stereodynator
is equipped with several programs which
automatically set the treatment frequency and the treatment time.
The stimulating effect can alternatively be administrated endogenously or exogenously. During
endogenous application, the interference is generated through superposition of the electrical circuits
in the body. This allows an intense effect. During exogenous application, the interference is created
in the medical device. The stimulating effect takes place directly underneath the electrodes on the
body surface.
In addition to the three-circuit interference current, the
Stereodynator
offers a complete selection
of single circuit currents for all known therapeutic procedures.
The
Stereodynator
is particularly suitable for:
•
Pain therapy with three-dimensional interference current.
•
Muscle toning and muscle detoning.
•
Galvanization and iontophoresis.
•
Pelvic floor stimulation.
•
Treatment of urinary and fecal incontinence.
•
Treatment of paralyses with complete or partial muscular degeneration.
•
Treatment of atrophies due to inactivity or weakened muscles after longer periods of inactivity.
•
Electrical stimulation therapy without electrolytic side effects and only slight muscle fatigue.
•
Treatment of pain, muscle spasms, functional diseases of the locomotor system, such as sports
injuries, peripheral circulatory disturbances, influencing of the vegetative system with
