training device with a device for implementing a method for stimulating bone growth

摘要

A resonant piezoelectric transducer (2) formed as an acoustic sensor is applied to the surface of the patient's skin, adjacent the bone tissue to be stimulated. The analysis of the sound signal is obtained via the piezoelectric transducer during the individually selected loading programme, for detecting bone cracks and/or joint damage. The piezoelectric transducer can be attached to the surface of the skin via a fluidic sound-conductive adhesive, to prevent noise signals caused by the transducer movement.
