First Claim
Patent Images
1. Apparatus for therapeutic synchronized treatment of a body comprising:
- a preprogrammed controller having a memory;
a controllable source of a desired treatment modality;
at least one sensor functionally engaged to the body for monitoring a particular parameter influenced by the treatment modality;
the at least one sensor being functionally engaged to the controller for providing sensed parameter readings to the controller;
the controllable source of the desired treatment modality being functionally engaged to the body and being engaged to the controller in a manner whereby the controller controls application of the treatment modality by the source;
the controller analyzing the sensed parameter readings from the sensor and in response thereto, controlling application by the source in a predetermined manner as preprogrammed into the memory of the controller.

Abstract
The method and apparatus are used in the synchronized therapeutic treatment of a life form in a manner where at least one therapeutic modality is applied to an area of the body during a period of rest or activity of a cycle thereof, application of the therapeutic modality being controlled by a preprogrammed controller in response to sensed parameters influenced by the therapeutic modality.

15. A method for accomplishing the synchronized treatment of a body comprising the steps of:
-
programming a controller having a memory to use sensed body parameters to administer a desired therapeutic modality to the body in predetermined manner relative to the sensed body parameters;
engaging at least one controllable source of a desired therapeutic modality to the controller for controlling application of the modality and to the body;
engaging at least one sensor to the controller and to the body, the sensor monitoring a particular body parameter influenced by the at least one therapeutic modality;
the controller analyzing input from the sensor and, in response thereto, controlling the application of the at least one treatment modality from the source to the body in the predetermined manner programmed into the controller.
