Abstract:
A device for providing therapeutic treatment to a body part such as a knee joint to promote healing of the body part, including a signal generator for generating a pulsed electromagnetic field to electromagnetic stimulators based upon a selected treatment mode, a controller for storing the treatment mode and communicating the treatment mode to the signal generator and stimulators, a heat source configured to provide thermal therapy to the body part, and a monitoring element for monitoring the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic stimulators. The device may also include a telemetry component in communication with the monitor for remotely accessing the controller to modify the treatment mode. The device can also be disposable.
