A Combined Physiotherapy Ultrasound and Electrical Shock Device (COMPO) Design

Abstract:

Today, savings and efficient use of materials are an integral and important component of design processes and production. The typical multi-purpose devices with portability in biomedical engineering and physiotherapy are visible. Due to high usage and importance of these features, particularly their combination in the treatment of a wide range of patients, the process of treatment for the patient and medical groups could be faster, easier and pleasurable. This article is presented a multifunctional physiotherapy device design that combines the most effective as well as commonly used therapies. In addition, savings in materials, efficient use of energy and reducing manufacturing process, simple, comfortable, pleasant and effective treatment process for both physiotherapists and for a broad class of patients may be represented.
