  • Abstract
    In this paper the design and implementation of an integrated system, for healing nerve, muscles, bones, and joints injuries, are discussed. In this system, ultrasound waves and interferential-current can be applied separately or concurrently, based on the recommendation of the healthcare specialist. This flexibility is expected to optimize, improve, and quicken the healing progress and recovery. The system was built using off the shelf components, and this will result in substantial cost reduction.
