摘要:
A noninvasive method of treating or preventing pressure ulcers is disclosed. The method includes placing a motorized pad about a subject, activating a plurality of motors positioned in the motorized pad each having an output shaft to thereby cause application of a rotational motion to each of the plurality of motor shafts, converting the rotational motion to a vibrational motion by using a corresponding unbalanced mass with each motor, applying the vibrational motion to a corresponding part of the subject, and damping any vibrational forces substantially parallel to an underlying skin surface more than vibrational forces substantially perpendicular to the underlying skin surface.
