Every therapist is wrestling with the same problem: how to integrate
evidence based medicine successfully into my daily practice?
Advancing medical science with a variety of treatment methods,
doesnt make the right therapeutic decision for you any easier
to take. At the same time, youre expected to be able to justify
your preference for a particular method with hard data from controlled
clinical trials.
Uniphy comes to your aid in this modern dilemma. The latest devices
of the Guidance series are equipped with an intelligent system for
presetting the parameters and generating useful information. This
invention is called Guided Therapy System or G.T.S. for short.
G.T.S. has three key features:
- Therapeutic programming
- Evidence-based therapy
- HELP and information screens
Therapeutic programming
Therapeutic programming means that treatment objectives such as
decrease pain
or improve trophic condition are selected rather than
abstract variables like frequency, spectrum
or pulse width.
If, for example, you select decrease pain
the G.T.S. will want to know, from you, the intensity of
the pain (the VAS score). The corresponding form of therapy and
parameters will be automatically displayed on the screen of the
Guidance.
A G.T.S.-enabled device mirrors, step by step, your pattern
of therapeutic thought and relieves you of the task of having to
preset the technical parameters
manually (self-adjustment is, of course, always an option). This
means that you can give more attention to your patient.
Evidence-based therapy
Scientific publications, therapeutic guidelines and protocols are
held in the systems database. New features can be added in
the form of new software.
After presetting your treatment objective, the system automatically
selects the therapy form and the best parameters. The G.T.S.,
by itself, finds a connection
between the therapeutic objective and the scientific evidence. If
that evidence doesnt exist, an experimental therapeutic recommendation
is made in the form of The Guideline which is supplied
with the device. The therapist receives an extensive literature
list.
HELP and information screens
The G.T.S. is composed of handy HELP and information screens.The
different types of electrotherapeutic current are explained, the
effects of the various parameters shown and reasons given for the
suggested types of therapy.
You can even call up details of the optimal electrode placement
or the ultrasound heads. All the information is shown on an LCD
screen. With the G.T.S., you have an built-in reference
book at your fingertips!
The Guidance has been developed by hysiotherapists for physiotherapists
and therefore speaks your language. The Guidance offers much, without
being complex and ensures that youre able to give patients
your full attention, whilst treating them in accordance with the
latest insights.
The ease of operation and the professional support of the Guided
Therapy System- with inborn intelligence - are acclaimed
by users the world over. |
