Our PRM Clinic Division, including with its RDI Department The National Reference Centre for

NeuroRehabilitation is one of the first units in Romania that used Deep Oscillation, starting two

years ago. Since then, we have administrated this procedure to about 100 patients and it was very well

tolerated, with no reported discomfort or any other adverse reactions.

All patients showed a great interest for this physiatric method, found it anodyne and, in the same time,

extremely comfortable and relaxing.

Specifically, based on a prospective pilot study, we have carried out last year, on patients with

entheso/osteoarthritis mainly of spine, hip, shoulder, we have statistically objectified significant

improvements of the following parameters: local pain and range of motion, and respectively the degree

of patients satisfaction in relation to this specific therapy. Additionally, an important advantage of this

method is its applicability over skeleton segments with metallic implants.

Taking into account all the afore mentioned qualities, we consider Deep Oscillation, if correctly

prescribed and applied, a valuable and efficient physiotherapeutic tool and we strongly recommend its

wider clinical use.

Clinica noastr de Recuperare i Nucleul de Cercetare tiinific aferent Centrul Naional de

Referin pentru NeuroReabilitare, este una dintre primele uniti din Romnia care a utlizat Deep

Oscillation, ncepnd de acum doi ani. De atunci, am administrat aceast procedur la circa 100 de

pacieni i a fos foarte bine tolerat, neprovocnd disconfort sau reacii adverse.

Toi pacienii i-au exprimat un interes deosebit pentru aceast procedur pe care au apreciat-o ca fiind

anodin, extrem de confortabil i relaxant.

Concret, pe baza ununui studiu prospectiv pilot, pe care l-am efectuat anul trecut, la pacieni cu

patologie degenerativ entezo-osteo-articular, predominant la nivelul coloanei vertebrale, oldurilor i

umerilor, am obiectivat statistic ameliorri semnificative ale parametrilor: durere i grad de mobilitate

locale, i respectiv, nivelul de satisfacie al pacienilor n raport cu aceast form de terapie. n plus,

un avantaj important al acestei metode este aplicabilitatea sa pe zone aflate deasupra unor segmente

scheletale cu implanturi metalice.

Avnd n vedere toate calitile expuse, considerm c Deep Oscillation, corect indicat, prescris i

aplicat, este un instrument fizioterapeutic valoros i eficient, a crui extindere a utilizrii o

recomandm clduros.
