The 4 Channel Automode + US Combination Therapy Unit (manufactured by Proxima Physio Care) is an advanced, multi-functional physiotherapy workstation that integrates electrotherapy and ultrasound technologies into a single workstation for comprehensive patient care.
This "Combi" unit allows for the simultaneous or independent application of two primary therapeutic treatments:
Advanced Ultrasonic Therapy:
Deep Penetration: Uses high-frequency sound waves (1 MHz) to penetrate up to 3–5 cm into body tissues, generating therapeutic heat and micro-massaging tender muscle areas.
Dual Operating Modes: Features a toggle switch to alternate between Continuous (CONT.) for deep heating effects and Pulse for non-thermal healing.
Digital Monitoring: A bright LED display provides real-time monitoring of intensity measured in $Watt/cm^2$.
4-Channel TENS Section:
Multi-Site Treatment: Equipped with four independent channels (CH-1 to CH-4), allowing for the treatment of large muscle groups or multiple body areas simultaneously.
Automated Programming: Features a digital panel with pre-set "Automode" settings, including Burst, Continuous, P.W.M. (Pulse Width Modulation), and Sweep to prevent nerve accommodation.
Customizable Frequency: Programmable electrical pulse rates typically ranging from 2Hz to 250Hz to target specific pain types.
The device is engineered for precise clinical control and user safety:
Digital Timer: A dedicated LED display tracks treatment duration in minutes (MIN.), adjustable via tactile UP and DOWN buttons (typically up to 99 minutes).
Intensity Controls: Features five independent rotary knobs—four for TENS channels and one for ultrasound intensity—allowing for individualized session strength.
Safety Status: Includes visual indicators for Reset and Ready status, ensuring the unit is properly configured before output begins.
This professional unit is ideal for treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions:
Pain Relief: Effective for managing chronic arthritis, sciatica, and acute sports injuries.
Tissue Rehabilitation: Accelerates healing in ligament sprains, muscle strains, and tendonitis.
Muscle Recovery: Assists in muscle re-education, reducing spasms, and preventing muscle atrophy.
