Smart massage physiotherapy device for paralyzed and vegetative patients
How does it work?
The product has two main features: 'pneumatic massage', which simulates the movements of manual massage by controlling the inflation and deflation of an airbag, and 'electroacupuncture', which stimulates muscles with a mild electric current at specific points.
