MEDICAL DEVICE PROTOTYPE
THERMOTENS
Medical device that integrates electrotherapy and thermotherapy for muscular rehabilitation
This project was focused on integrating two muscular rehabilitation techniques widely used and aimed to solve some problems discovered after a series of visits made to different physiotherapy facilities. Issues that ranged from a risk for the patient due to heat overexposure to accelerated deterioration of specialized furniture.
The device is used through a handset which gives constant feedback while the electrotherapy (carbon electrodes) and thermotherapy (flexible heating packs) elements are being used.
