Abstract


This solution describes methods of stimulation of nerve endings via medical device. Medical doctors stimulate nerve paths and nerve endings patients after injury of spine and other injuries. These methods are destined for tetraplegic and paraplegic patients specially for men. For this request was developed device and vibro-generator mechanism for nerve paths and nerve endings. In develop of construction has been taken of the safety of mechanism. Next were taken into account the construction of other devices, especially their shortcomings in the operation on the battery. For mains powered vibrators 230 (110) Volt were assessed for safety and noise vibrating mechanism. The sum of all failures was proposed structure described below. The success rate of this vibration method is reported mostly between 60-80%. Higher percentage is in patients with total spinal cord injuries, injuries over Th8 (thoracic vertebra) for spastic patients (upper motoneuron lesion) the loss of perception of heat in the dam and the glans penis and testicle squeezing perceived inability.
