ABSTRACT:
A pulsating hydrotherapy system for the effective treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders. The system includes a control unit which produces a pulsating water flow, a cuff designed to fit over the affected area of the patient and including tubular coils, and tubing to carry the pulsating water from the control unit to the coils of the cuff. The cuff is constructed of layers of polyurethane foam to fit comfortably over the patient's neck, leg or arm, or to fit the patient's back. The coils in the cuff are constructed so that the pulsating water flows in one direction only and parallel to the flow of blood. As the pulsating water wave travels through the coils in the cuff, a peristaltic action is transmitted to the circulation below. To maximize the pulsating water wave amplitude, two independent sets of coils are used in the cuff thus shortening the distance the wave must be propagated. The control unit applies the pulsating water wave first to one set of coils and then to the other.
