Description

"TREATMENTOFTHEMUSCULOSKELETA SYSTEM"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the treatment of acute diseases or conditions, as from a sports injury, of the musculos eletal system (excluding fractures) with magnetic field therapy. More specifically, the diseased part is treated by being placed inside an annular coil driven with a pulsed DC voltage having a rectangular wave form pulsing at the rate of 1-30 pulse bursts per second, producing a low intensity field.
2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed under §§1.97 to 1.99
It has been recognized in the prior art that the application of a magnetic field to diseased organs can in some ways improve their condition. An example is disclosed in the Kraus patent 3,915,151 which discloses the idea of imparting a low frequency AC source to a wound toroid into which an ailing limb is inserted. The imparted voltage creates a changing magnetic field. This treatment is coupled in Kraus with a galvanic effect applied to the limb and generated by means of plates disposed on either sides of the limb.
SUBSTITUTE SHEET A more recent patent, 4,537,181 to Shaloob et al. , discloses treating a patient with a magnetic field created by rotating permanent magnets.
Other patents somewhat of interest to the present invention are 4,233,965 issued November 18, 1980 and 4,758,429 issued July 19, 1988.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the target organ is subjected to an electromagnetic field driven by a pure DC voltage having an abruptly rising and abruptly deteriorating wave form at the rate of 1-30 cycles per second. The field at the target organ is of low intensity, preferably under 20 gauss, and the field lines are oriented, where the target organ is on an appendage, such that the flux lines travel toward the distal end of the appendage.
The effect of the treatment under the present invention is dramatic as will be demonstrated in examples hereunder. The exact mechanism by which the treatment derives its efficacy is not known but one explanation may be found in the uni-directional elongated (extended) prolongation and abruptly shortened repolarization theory:
Directing a specific time frequency and wave form of low amplitude magnetic field (or flux) into and onto a target area of living tissue/organ in an almost axial arrangement for an extended specified length of time, allows or causes the electron (ionic) flow to remain in either a plus or minus state. This action does stimulate the electrical potential. Thus a regeneration or repair process is initiated by which the cells of tissues or organs are able to and will more fully perform their intended genetic function(s).
SUBSTITUTESHEET The cells of the affected tissues or organs may therefore carry out their functions in a more appropriate fashion and healthy physiological intended manner. The healing process, once stimulated, is henceforth maintained by the nature of the permanently enhanced positive electron-balance and healthy metabolic status.
In amplification of the above theory, I have concluded from a careful review of recent data concerning the intrinsic magnetic field strength of living individuals that all human beings possess measurable amounts of a magnetic field (MF). The data further indicates that most healthy people have a MF which ranges from X to Y gauss. Some human beings have extremely low MF levels: other human beings have extremely high MF levels, i.e., 4 to 5 times (X+Y/2). Based on a correlation between healthy and morbid human beings, I postulate that further investigation should be initiated which might suggest that altered magnetic properties may represent the state of disease, that is, derangement of MF may correlate with disease.
The following specification represents a new approach based on the above theory.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged front end view of the carriage showing the tracks in section;
Fig. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the carriage for supporting the toroid; and
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. 6.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, the invention involves the creation of an electromagnetic field F. This field is created by energizing a winding in a toroid T such that the field forms a three-dimensional donut in and about the toroid. The toroid T within its case contains a number of coil segments CS spaced by air gaps G as shown in Fig. 2. It is an important characteristic of the invention that the field not be greater than 20 gauss in the area of the diseased organ DO.
After much study, it has been found that it is important that voltage be supplied to the toroid winding in a pattern demonstrated in Fig. 3. The voltage supplied must repeatedly build up steeply, hold, and then deteriorate steeply so that there are thus created a series of spaced working plateaus p of pure DC current. It is preferred, therefore, that in the duty cycle the wave form of the pure DC voltage
SUBSTITUTESHEET involved be virtually of rectangular shape with the abruptly rising r and abruptly falling d sides of the wave form comprising sides of a rectangle. In between two such duty cycles there is an off cycle. As an additional characteristic, further study has indicated that it is important that the movement of the field along the diseased limb, for instance, be toward its distal end. Thus, for instance, when treating a patient's hand as shown, or knee, as the diseased organ, the magnetic lines of the field F in the area of the organ should move toward the end of the appendage remote from the torso. This is achieved by supplying voltage of proper polarity to the coil leads of the toroid T. As shown in Fig. 2, the target diseased organ DO is supported to be in position eccentric to the central flux portion of the magnetic field within the toroid. This can be accomplished by a shapeable fiber support pillow SP of cotton or the like which need not completely surround the organ, but should assist its proper positioning. Inside the toroid housing, as stated, are a series of circularly arranged arcuate segments, of wound coil CS. With respect to the size of the toroid, it is important that the distance between the organ and the windings be no greater than bout six inches (6" ) .
It has further been found, as a result of much experimentation, that the length of time intervals between the treatment periods and the length of the treatment periods themselves is important. Preferably the length of periods should be no greater than one- half hour and the frequency should be every 24 to 48 hours through the treatment period.
SUBSTITUTESHEET DESCRIPTION OF APPARATUS FOR TREATING ORGANS IN THE TORSO
The invention also has application, aside from treatment of the limbs, to diseased organs on the main part of the body, i.e., the torso. Equipment which has been used for such torso treatment is shown in the drawings, Figs. 4 through 7.
Figure 4 shows an apparatus useful in applying a magnetic field to the main part of the human body, i.e. the torso. It is generally designated 10 and is an all wood table comprising a plurality of support legs 12, a horizontal transitional surface 14 on which the patient may sit and then recline and prepare himself. The support surface 14 is preferably supported on a pair of end boards 16 which are supported by the legs and are notched as at 18 to support rails 20 which has between them a fabric support web 22.
Extending between the side board 16 and horizontally disposed at a level below the surface 14 is a coil support bed 24. Supported on the bed 24 are a pair of spaced parallel tracks 26 which may be in the form of boards having a rectangular cross section. A coil support carriage 28 is provided with pair of side- by-side upward recesses 30 which fit slideably over the tracks 26.
Anti-friction means, such as plastic rollers 32, are mounted adjacent the upper wall of the recess 30 so that the carriage may easily move along the tracks. Preferably the upper sides of the carriage are formed with a circumferential lip 34. The toroid T, similar to that disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2, is equipped with downward flaring legs 36 which are received onto the carriage 28 to support the toroid.
SUBSTITUTESHEET In use, the patient reclines on the surface 14 and then, with the carriage 28 at one end of the tracks 26, the patient rolls onto the fabric support web 22 so that his body B is supported thereby. The carriage then moves along the tracks 26 until the toroid T, encompassing his body, is aligned with the diseased organ. The toroid is then energized for treatment as described above.
I have found that for treatment of the hand a toroid having an opening of 5 ' is preferable, an opening of 11" may be useful in treatment of the knee and for a treatment of the entire body, as in Figs. 4 through 7, an opening of 22" is suitable for most patients.
