Summary:
It is known that distant electrotherapy achieves extraordinary effects in decrease of pain, improving
the functional performance and stimulation of growth, regeneration, and healing processes. The
method of distant electrotherapy obtains fixed position at the pain relief in the area of locomotion
apparatus.However, it is also possible to use distant electrotherapy in the treatment of osteoporosis,
fractures, microvascular and nervous diseases, ulcus cruris etc. In the presence of endoprosthesis
and/or other metallic materials questions arise, whether the application of the distant electrotherapy
is in the accordance with physical conditions. The performed evaluations and experiments show that
physical conditions comply with these conditions.
Key words:
distant electrotherapy, pain relief, regeneration, fractures, metallic endoprosthesis,
heating-up, vibration
