Prototipo de magnetoterapia aplicada en paciente con problemas de lumbalgia asociada a signos de radiculopatia con desgaste discal

Abstract

The technological and economic backwardness of the country in magnetotherapy equipment and processes have made treatment difficult for patients who require this type of therapy, especially those who do not have logistic or economic availability. This project was carried out with the objective of creating a prototype of magnetotherapy capable of generating magnetic field with variable intensity and frequency, this in order to treat the specific problem of a patient with signs associated with low back pain and also allow the treatment of other types of diseases. For the realization of the project a PSoC 5LP was used to generate a sinusoidal signal at different frequencies as required (between 0Hz and 100Hz), in addition a digital resistance varies which configures the gain of the power circuit. A series of coils were designed which are the focus of the generated magnetic field, said coils were controlled by a complementary symmetry amplifier with variable amplification, in addition to this a hall effect sensor was implemented to measure the magnetic field intensity at all times.. With the creation of this prototype it is possible to improve the patient's quality of life and also prevent the effects caused by this pathology, thanks to the fact that the patient can use these therapies at any time and place as it is a portable device.
