At Home Bone Therapy - Yanko Design

Okay, geek out fourth dimension. In that location'southward an episode in Star Expedition TNG where Dr. Crusher waves a curious wand-like device over a broken arm. Magically the arm is mended and the only side event the patient complained of was stiffness. I NEED THAT DEVICE. Not that I get breaking bones all the time but that device is a wonderful security blanket should something tragic happen. The closest thing we might have today is Bone Repair Therapy.

The Bone Repair Therapy device allows patients to cocky-administer electrotherapy and ultrasound treatment to fresh fractures and non-union fractures after a cast has been set up. It brings convenience and savings to both patients and healthcare institutions. Although the general public is able to access ultrasound and electrotherapy for bone repair, non everybody can afford the time and cost of these therapies. Part of the trouble is the travel time (to the hospital) and waiting time (for the calibration of the automobile) making it inconvenient. Thus, many people exercise not use them, fifty-fifty though they are bachelor and would enormously reduce recovery time.

When a patient is brought into the emergency room for the casting of a cleaved limb, it'southward applied as usual. The cast, however, volition contain a docking plate, where the Bone Repair Therapy device volition later on exist placed. The patient is given the device and instructions and is gratis to go abode.

At home, the patient removes the device from the consecration charging station and places information technology on the docking plate for xx minutes per day. The therapy device can hold a accuse sufficient for up to five sessions, which makes it very user-friendly for travelling.

The device monitors the recovery of the fracture and sends information to the hospital via the net. A md reviews the case periodically and sends updates back to the device regarding treatment adjustments. Once the fracture has healed, the hospital notifies the patient to remove the bandage and transport the device back by mail or drop it off at the infirmary. The use of this technology in the treatment of fractures can reduce recovery time upwards to 60%.
