Automated System for Reduction of Muscle Inflammation after an Injury

Abstract

Abstract

The therapeutic applications have equally gained more importance with that to surgeries in orthopedics. The main reason for pre-operative therapeutic methods on muscles deals in reducing the benign and malignant tumors, called as lesions. This is carried out with cryotherapy, which is the reliable, safer and cost-effective technique used. At first the ice packs and ice gel being applied to the area under treatment which could reduce the lesions and paves a way for further surgical procedure or therapy. Generally, ice packs are placed on the affected area for a period of 5 to 10 min. But the ice packs cannot provide the effect on the complete area under the treatment. Each time replacing the ice packs to different position is carried out by either the patient or the therapist. While doing so, the temperature of the ice pack gets reduced and there will be less effect on the diseased area and the treatment time increases. This problem can be avoided by developing a model that could cover the entire area under the treatment, which will be controlled automatically. The coverage of the area of interest is based on flexible strap (cooling pad), that surrounds the entire surface of the wound. The main application is that if it’s a fracture, then suddenly it has to be treated by reducing the lesions, so that POP can be done on the affected area. So, this cryotherapy technique plays an important role in orthopedics.
