RF capacitive heating system for effective thermal therapy of locomotive syndrome

In this study, a new effective heating treatment for locomotive syndrome was proposed. This heating method is based on RF dielectric heating technology [1] , [2] . For effective heating therapy of locomotive syndrome, not only the shallow muscle but also deep region tissue should be heated [3] . In this study, calculated heating results were compared to the frequency of the electromagnetic wave and the number of electrode pairs respectively. A coupled analysis of electromagnetic field and temperature distribution were calculated by FDTD method software of Sim4Life™.
