Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9427554A1] An electronic reflexotherapy device comprises a compact body (1) with a cover (3) and an insert (2) made of transparent material at the top. The body (1) houses an energy source (10), an optical indicator (9) and an electronic unit (8), provided additionally with an audio indicator device (11). At its forward end, the body (1) incorporates a stimulating metal end-piece (4) in the form of a bushing serving as a passive electrode (5), the lower part of which has an annular, cylindrical cavity (12). Located at the centre of the passive electrode (5) is an acicular active electrode, dielectrically insulated therefrom, the working end of which is hemispherical. The height of the annular cavity (12) is at least twice the diameter of the active electrode (6). The active and inert electrodes form part of the electronic actuating system for the electronic unit (8) and automatically switch on the device on contact through the skin. The device of the invention can be used in searching for acupuncture points, marking them and performing therapy automatically while carrying out an express diagnosis by electro-acupuncture methods.
