Apparatus Physiotherapy

Apparatus physiotherapy is a suite of eight modalities, each with its own indication and mechanism. (1) Tone-reduction physiotherapy uses low-frequency rectangular impulses and stimulation of tendon receptors. (2) Mid-frequency electrotherapy improves local circulation, trains muscles and has analgesic effect — indicated for weakness in limbs, back and abdomen. (3) Electronic meridian therapy restores nerve conduction in neuralgia, muscle atrophy and post-traumatic deficits. (4) Cerebellar stimulation accelerates brain blood flow via bioelectric impulses — used for paediatric brain injury, cognitive impairment, stroke and speech delay. (5) Sound-frequency resonance therapy reactivates damaged hair cells of the auditory nerve, indicated for sensorineural hearing loss. (6) Nerve damage physiotherapy restores motor function in partial or complete denervation. (7) Ultra-short-wave therapy treats inflammatory processes — pneumonia, bronchitis, arthritis. (8) Multifunctional limb physiotherapy uses low-frequency impulse current for sequential muscle stimulation in hemiplegia, paraplegia and equinus foot. The physiotherapist selects modalities for each child's individual profile.
