What is special about High. Tone Therapy? ¤ Classical Electrotherapy is a treatment via Muscle- and Nerve-Stimulation ¤ High. Tone Therapy cover this field as well but more efficient, more comfortable ¤ Additionally it opens up the new field of Non-stimulating effects l Increase mitochondria in number and size l Acceleration of the diffusion rate l Acceleration of wound healing and regeneration l Acceleration of ossification (bone healing) l. . . many more ¤ The efficient application of these effects was made possible only by the new approach given by High. Tone Therapy l Use many frequencies to generate Resonance Effects l Maximize the applied Energy High. Tone Basic Ideas 2
Resonance Effects ¤ The human tissue contains many charged particles l Pain mediators like K+, H+ l H 2 O Water dipole l many other charged particles ¤ These particles oscillate in an alternating electric field ¤ Through these oscillations the natural processes are facilitated l example: diffusion processes are accelerated ¤ To optimize these oscillations you have to apply the „right“ frequency ¤ That‘s why High. Tone Therapy offers a whole range of frequencies l From 4 k. Hz to 32 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 3
Resonance A alternating electric field is applied Charged particles (Molecules, Cell structures, . . . ) of different sizes at rest Electrode High. Tone Basic Ideas 4
Resonance Middle Frequency Middle sized particles begin to resonate 16 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 5
Resonance Decreasing Frequency 8 k. Hz Resonance moves to larger particles High. Tone Basic Ideas 6
Resonance Decreasing Frequency 4 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 7
Resonance Increasing Frequency 8 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 8
Resonance Increasing Frequency 16 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 9
Resonance Increasing Frequency 20 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 10
Resonance Increasing Frequency The small particles get into resonance 32 k. Hz High. Tone Basic Ideas 11
Resonance - next: Energy ¤ Resonance Effect is optimized by using the frequency scan from 4 to 32 k. Hz ¤ The two main mechanisms of High. Tone Therapy are l Generate Resonance Effects l Maximize the applied Energy ¤ The applicable electric power (energy per unit time) is limited by the human threshold for current l for every applied frequency there is threshold value for • current sensation • motoric response ¤ See threshold curve in the next slide High.

High. Tone with Simul. FAM ¤ These two basic ideas l use a frequency scan (instead of a fixed carrier frequency) l follow the threshold curve led to the completely new and patented High. Tone Therapy ¤ Simultaneous Frequency and Amplitude Modulation ¤ Simul. FAM High. Tone Basic Ideas 15
