Abstract and Figures  Comorbidity is an independent risk factor for mortality and significantly influences the prognosis and quality of life. Purpose: to evaluate the impact of high-tone HiTOP 4 touch therapy on cognitive disorders and quality of life in the complex treatment of patients with comorbid pathology. Methods: complex treatment of 2 groups of patients

Abstract High-tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) or high-tone therapy is a new type of electrotherapy. Unlike the conventional electrotherapy that uses a fixed frequency, in HTEMS, the frequency and amplitude are simultaneously modulated, delivering much higher energy into the tissues. Recently, considerable attention has been paid to applying high-tone therapy in managing different disorders. This

Objective and Design: Pain and peripheral neuropathy are frequent complications of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Because drug treatment is associated with numerous side effects and is largely ineffective in many maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, nonpharmacologic strategies such as electrotherapy are a potential recourse. Among various forms of electrostimulation, high-tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) is a

ABSTRACT Objective. External muscle stimulation (EMS) of the thighs was previously shown to have beneficial effects in a pilot study on painful diabetic neuropathy. However, differential effects on specific symptoms of neuropathy as well as determinants of treatment response have not been described. Design. Ninety-two type 2 diabetes patients with different neuropathic symptoms were included

Keywords○ external muscle stimulation○ metabolic control○ type 2 diabetes○ cytokines AbstractPhysical activity improves insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Moreover, regular exercise can reduce systemic levels of immune markers associated with diabetes development. As patients with physical impairments are not able to exercise sufficiently, the aim of this study was

Background and Objectives Lately it was shown in a study that external electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) the sensitivity to insulin is being improved. By means of a functional EMS obviously the distribution of glucose-transport-protein GLUT-1 and GLUT-4 is being increased.Aim of the study was to examine whether a 6 week “treatment” with EMS of patients

BACKGROUND AND AIMS By the help of physical training insulin sensitivity and the adjustment of metabolism with diabetics can be improved. By means of other studies it was additionally shown that physical training will finally lead to a reduction of immunity parameters like IL-6. It was the aim of this study to find out whether

Methodology High tone therapy was applied to the patients twice a week for a total of eight weeks. With the aid of visual analog scales (1 = no pain, 10 = very strong pain) the participants’ extent of symptoms (prickle, burning, pain, numbness) before and after high tone therapy was evaluated.
