THE INFLUENCE OF MULTIDIRECTIONAL VIBRATIONS ON WOUND HEALING AND ON REGENERATION OF BLOOD- AND LYMPH VESSELS

A Leduc, P Lievens, J Dewald

Abstract


Experiments show that the multidirectional vibration
therapy is not an agressive t echnique: when
applied to the newly-formed lymph-vessels in the
scar, we observed that they were not damaged by
this technique whereas we had found in earlier studies
that a gentle effleurage destructed the newly
formed lymph network in the scar.
When using this treatment , little or no adhesion
of the scar to the underlying tissues is observed.
There is a significant decrease of the local edema
when compared to a standard group of woundhealing
without multidirectional vibrations.
There is also a significant decrease of general and
local congestion and no increase in the permeability
of veins and lymphvessels is present.
The appl ication of the local multidirectional vibration
therapy accelerates the regeneration of the
severed vein and lymphvessel.
