Development of a Remote Electrotherapy Device to Treat Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis by Using a Mobile Device
.
Abstract –– Osteoarthritis is a highly disabling condition, mostly prevalent in adults over 60 years old. Unfortunately, there is no cure for osteoarthritis, it is only possible to treat the symptoms and pain caused by the illness with countless treatments in which the patient must be mobilized to the doctor's clinic by a guardian, a highly expensive process. The main goal of the research presented in this article is to design and manufacture a tool to be used remotely by the patient, which has been previously programmed by a healthcare professional with predefined electrotherapies. The result of this research was the design, simulation and manufacturing of a platform consisting of electrotherapy software and hardware for patients wit... Ver más
