There are different techniques of application for ultrasound therapy; they are usually
performed in one of two ways: direct or indirect contact.
4 . 1
– D i r e c t c o n t a c t m e t h o d
With this technique, the head comes directly into contact with the skin through a medium
allowing both surfaces to adhere perfectly to each other (e.g. gel for ultrasounds, provided
together with the device); during direct contact the head may be:
fixed
– in order to treat a very limited surface, holding the handpiece firmly down on
the area affected by hand or by the mechanical arm (not provided together with the
device) which allows the operator to devote himself to other patients until the end of
the program;
mobile
– in order to treat a large surface, making small movements, backward and
forward or else circular, throughout the area to be treated. This technique is used to
treat large flat and regular surfaces.
Note:
if the surface to be treated is very small and/or hard to reach, we suggest you use a
smaller head (see Accessories).
4 . 2
– I n d i r e c t c o n t a c t m e t h o d
The indirect method consists of applying a medium between the head and the skin for
transmitting the ultrasound waves (usually water). This way the number of vibrations
which reaches the skin becomes uniform. This is used to treat body areas with an
irregular surface (hands, feet), which are hard to reach and do not permit perfect adhesion
between the two surfaces (head of the handpiece and skin). To perform the application,
use a rather deep basin, full of water, and immerse the body part you want to treat entirely
in the water together with the head; direct the flat surface of the head towards the area you
want to work on, from a distance of about 10 to 15 cm, and then start the therapy.
