Low-Frequency Ultrasound Therapeutic Device For Soft Tissue Healing

Soft tissues are the dense fibrous connective tissues that include tendons ligaments, fascia, and muscles that connect and support the organ of the body. Tendons and ligaments are mostly subjected to injuries in sports person and person who regularly practicing exercise that may lead to tendon and ligament rupture which limit the activities of daily living. Collagen bundles in the muscles heal tendon injury as early as possible if the injury is not chronic. To treat such chronic injuries, physiotherapy and surgery are followed in the field of orthopedics, where patients may have some discomforts physically as well as mentally. In emerging medical techniques, ultrasound paves the way to treat chronic soft tissue injuries. Collagen fibers with good strength help in the movement of soft tissues. When soft tissues got injured, collagen bundles alignment is adversely affected and leads to movement disorders permanently in serious cases. Most therapeutic devices use MHz of frequency, which fails to treat injury completely. To serve this purpose, a low-cost and lightweight therapeutic device was designed to generate a low frequency of ultrasound of 250KHz can be liable to realign the collagen bundles effectively. It had been proved that low frequency can leads to higher penetration into tissues. Thus, this device can penetrate deeper into the tendon and can realign collagen bundles effectively.
