Abstract

For medicine, sports and cosmonautics, a method of biomechanotherapy massage and therapeutic action on a human body performed both by heat and light waves and by mechanical waves which are sequential and parallel combinations of longitudinal and transverse modulated solitary waves of length from 0.005 to 0.1 m propagating along the body with speed from 0.01 to 12 m/s, where the solitary waves are formed on the body due to an impulsive action of separate thermovibratodes interconnected with a controlled link and acting on a human body with a temperature from 0 to 90° C., a specific pressure from 0.5·10⁵ to 4·10⁵ Pa and a shear thrust from 0.1 to 100 N. The proposed method of biomechanotherapy allows to increase efficiency of the therapeutic and sports massage and to improve results of an integral treatment of various diseases. Wave biomechanotherapy increases 1.5-2 times the peripheral blood flow facilitating the work of the cardiovascular system, improving the rheological properties of blood, blood supply to all organs and the functional condition of these parameters. Wave biomechanotherapy actively stimulates the metabolism, accelerates rehabilitation processes in organs and tissues and increases drainage of decay products from a body in a natural way.

Claims

1. Method of the wave biomechanotherapy using waves formed due to a wave-type travel of an elastic medium presses against a human body, distinguishing itself that the therapy is performed with a combination of heat, light and mechanical waves which are sequential and parallel combinations of longitudinal and transverse modulated solitary waves of length from 0.005 to 0.1 m propagating along the body with speed from 0.01 to 12 m/s, where the longitudinal solitary waves are formed on the body due to an impulsive travel of separate vibratodes along the body surface, the transverse solitary waves are formed on the body due to an impulsive travel of separate vibratodes at the right angle to the body surface and the vibratodes are interconnected with a controlled link and act on a human body with temperature from 0 to 90°

C., specific pressure from 0.5·

10⁵ to 4·

10⁵ Pa, shear thrust from 0.1 to 100 N and duration from 1 min to 10 hours.

2. Method of the wave biomechanotherapy as per para. 1, distinguishing itself in that the modulating oscillations of a solitary wave are impulses with frequency from 0.004 to 1 Hz and the on-off time ratio equaling to the number of vibratodes participating in the waves formation, and the carrier oscillations are a sequence of impulses with frequency from 1 to 40 Hz and the on-off time ratio from 1.1 to 6, in relation to which the frequency modulation is performed, for example, by a sinusoidal signal with the modulation frequency varying from 0.004 to 1 Hz and the frequency deviation varying from 0.001 to 40 Hz.
