To date, the actual problem in the field of physiotherapy is the development of technical means capable of imitating and reproducing one of the natural factors of the human environment – the electromagnetic field (EMF) in a wide variety of its properties. The high penetrating ability of EMFs, a wide range of informative parameters and limits of their change, the possibility of orientation in any direction and the creation of spatial heterogeneities can be used as a perfect tool for the treatment of various diseases.

The existing arsenal of magnetic therapy devices does not allow the complex and targeted organization of magnetic effects in a certain way and in the right directions, with a given degree of heterogeneity with respect to the patient, which significantly reduces the effectiveness of therapy and the search for optimal doses and characteristics of effects.

Many of the studies carried out confirm the need to use a larger number of biotropic parameters dosed with high discreteness and within wide limits for obtaining new therapeutic effects. In this regard, the task of creating a multi-functional, multiparameter automated magnetic therapy system with a biotechnical feedback loop is very important.

The aim of the work is to describe the developed methods and means of forming therapeutic magnetic effects, with a wide range of adjustable biotropic parameters set with high resolution and accuracy.

The results of the research were the creation of an industrial model of a matrix, multiparameter system of complex magnetic therapy and magnetic rehabilitation “RelaxMag” of general, distributed, combined or local action. It is based on new principles for the formation of configurations of magnetic fields, with the possibilities of objective, continuous monitoring of the functional state of the patient during a therapy session. The system is built on the basis of a computer (tablet), contains an interface module and a polarizing system consisting of 60 intelligent cells with 240 independent information channels for specifying the magnetic field and controlling its biotropic parameters. All technical capabilities and characteristics of the system are defined. The software allows dosed to form a therapeutic effect and visually provide the user with detailed information on the control channels. An experimental facility has been created for conducting preclinical tests on animals and test procedures have been developed.

The matrix polarizing system (MPS) will allow the formation of EMF around the patient within a sufficiently small size relative to it, with high resolution, to quickly convert the matrix into various formats. Arbitrary fragmentation of the matrix and the creation of multiple combinations become possible.

The independence of the control of individual cells of the matrix expands the set of informational biotropic parameters of exposure due to the possibility of creating various types of heterogeneities of EMF in the working space of the MMS, which have an increased therapeutic effect.

An important feature of the MMS is also the ability to localize EMF in cases of selective effects on biologically active points or their meridians along specified trajectories, in a certain sequence and with the necessary intensity.

The clinical use of the developed system will significantly increase the accuracy and quality of the formation of magnetic effects, the efficiency and objectivity of monitoring the patient’s functional state, and therefore will make the treatment process more effective.
