DEVICE FOR TREATING OSTEOPOROSIS,HIP AND SPINE FRACTURES AND FUSIONS WITH ELECTRIC FIELDS

摘要

A technique and device for preventing and/or treating osteoporosis, hip andspine fractures, and/or spine fusions by incorporating at least one conductivecoil (110) into a garment (90) adapted to be worn adjacent to the patient'sskin over a treatment area and applying an electrical signal to the coileffective to produce a magnetic flux the penetrates the treatment area so asto produce an electric field in the bones and the treatment area.
