We report about a new type of physical therapy which can be used in patients with joint immobility secondary to by chronic venous insufficiency. Biomechanical stimulation therapy (BMS) uses mechanical vibration of standardised frequencies from 18-35 Hz spectrum to expose the feet and legs to longitudinal mechanical stimuli. Therapeutic benefit and clinical improvement can be achieved after a short period of treatment. We describe a 76 year old female patient suffering from both impaired motion and recurrent venous ulceration due to chronic venous insufficiency. After 10 days treatment with BMS, mobility of upper ankle joints improved by 16 degrees and 19 degrees and was accompanied by healing of venous ulcerations after skin flap transplantation. Biomechanical stimulation methods were developed in the former Soviet Union where they were used in sports medicine to improve relaxation of strained muscle structures and to increase the stretching ability of capsules and tendons. We have successfully treated 6 patients with impaired mobility and chronic venous insufficiency. We believe that BMS is likely to become a valuable therapeutic tool in patients with this problem in the near future.
我们报告了一种新型物理疗法，该疗法可用于因慢性静脉功能不全继发关节活动受限的患者。生物力学刺激疗法（BMS）使用18 - 35赫兹频谱的标准化频率进行机械振动，使足部和腿部受到纵向机械刺激。经过短时间治疗即可获得治疗益处和临床改善。我们描述了一位76岁的女性患者，因慢性静脉功能不全导致运动功能受损和复发性静脉溃疡。经BMS治疗10天后，上踝关节活动度分别提高了16度和19度，且在皮瓣移植后静脉溃疡愈合。生物力学刺激方法是在前苏联研发的，当时在运动医学中用于改善紧张肌肉结构的松弛，并提高关节囊和肌腱的伸展能力。我们已成功治疗了6例运动功能受损和慢性静脉功能不全的患者。我们相信，在不久的将来，BMS可能会成为治疗这类患者的一种有价值的治疗工具。
