CRIOTHERMOAPPLICATIONAL THERAPY IN NEUROLOGY WITH THE USE OF THERMOELECTRIC ENERGY CONVERTERS

Abstract

Aim. The etiology of neurological diseases caused by stress situations and other signs of technological progress is analyzed.Methods. The methods of physical therapy effects on the human body used in therapeutic neurology, which are of high priority because of safety and noninvasiveness are investigated.Results.The necessity of using thermoelectric converters in therapeutic neurology is proved. The design of the semiconductor thermoelectric device for massage with the detailed description of the working principle is suggested. The advantages of the developed design of the device are pointed out, consisting in high environmental safety, noiselessness, reliability, functionality, versatility. The mathematical model of the local thermal effects (criothermoapplicational) and the results of numerical experiment are considered.Conclusion.The possibilities of combining in the device the functions of mechanical massage, heating, cooling, and magnetic effects.
