V-ACTOR® 21-35 Hz - biomechanical muscle and tendon stimulation

Thanks to the design of this device, it is possible to accurately dose not only the intensity, but also the depth of the impact of shock waves, with the maximum clarity of the localization of the treatment zone. It is also necessary to mention that the passage of pulsed acoustic waves is not accompanied by the release of heat and the formation of a high-density electromagnetic field, which makes it possible to use shock waves even in those areas where metal structures are present (for example, for the treatment of delayed consolidation of fractures with installed pins).

"Biomechanical stimulation" (BMS), performed using D-ACTOR® technology, is based on the mechanical application of vibrating impulses to tense, contracted or overworked muscles and tendons by means of physiological shock frequencies (18 - 21 Hz) and low vibration amplitudes of shock transmitters D- ACTOR®.
As a result, proprioception is controlled, tissues are cleansed and the interaction between the central and peripheral nervous systems is improved.

The use of the patented technology of biomechanical muscle stimulation (BMS) - vibration stimulation using V-Actor technology to reduce muscle tension and eliminate trigger points, is a scientifically based therapeutic approach. Vibration therapy improves blood and lymph circulation in the extracellular matrix of connective tissue and stimulates metabolic activity. The new unique and patented vibrotherapy applicator operates at frequencies up to 35 Hz and provides optimal regulation of physiological muscle tremor. The V-ACTOR applicator is designed to localize and target trigger and acupuncture points and is an excellent complement to radial shock wave therapy in the treatment of muscle spasms and fat deposits. It should be noted that the Belarusian scientist Professor Nazarov was the developer of the BMS, and this technology was actively used in the program of rehabilitation and rapid recovery of astronauts after a long stay in orbit, where muscles atrophy and become flabby in a state of zero gravity. Thanks to BMS, within 10 days a person can be put on a twine without physical exercise - so effective is the effect of vibration impulses of the required frequency and strength. It is necessary to distinguish BMS using V-Actor technology from common vibrotherapy - BMS forms vibration that spreads longitudinally along muscle fibers and tendons. Such an effect has a beneficial effect on tissues, makes muscles elastic and restores their tone, “unties” the so-called knots (triggers) that cause pain and stiffness during movement. In just one or two procedures, you can achieve greater results than during the entire course of massages. The combination of BMS using V-Actor technology together with shock wave therapy makes the treatment more effective by 30-40%, accelerates recovery and significantly saves the patient's money, shortening the rehabilitation period. This technology is especially loved by professional athletes who are under strict doping control. It has been proven that the impact of BMS on the muscles of an athlete before the competition virtually eliminates the risk of sports injuries.

Radial pressure waves are pneumatically generated acoustic impulses that are transmitted to the body using a freely moving applicator and cover the entire painful area. The kinetic energy, which is concentrated in the motion of the applicator (bullet), accelerated by compressed air, is converted into acoustic energy when the bullet collides with the immovable part of the pistol head. Radial pressure waves after penetration into tissues diverge in different directions and gradually lose energy with increasing depth of penetration. They are characterized by a long wavelength and cannot be focused in deep tissues. The penetration depth usually ranges from 1 to 7 cm. Their maximum energy flux density is located at the point of exit from the surface of the shock transmitter (pistol head).

SWT applicator operation

In Gymna devices, shock waves are generated using the ballistic principle, which is natural in nature and therefore the most effective. Inside the handle is a small “bullet” (piston), which, by the action of high pressure compressed air, acts on the applicator (special nozzle), thus forming a shock wave.

GYMNA is a Belgian manufacturer of shock wave therapy and physiotherapy equipment since 1967. The goal of Gymna physicists and engineers is to continually improve shockwave technology and develop new types of systems. Gymna products have been proven effective in urology, gastroenterology, traumatology, orthopedics, ENT and other shock wave applications. Gymna is the only company in the world to develop its own unique shock wave generation system, which is used with great success in all Gymna shock wave systems. Independent research on the Gymna Cylindrical Shock Wave Source confirms the outstanding stone-breaking efficiency and optimum values for all medical-relevant parameters such as pressure, energy flux density, fidelity and minimized skin exposure.
