Abstract: A device comprising at least two ferrules, which may have a first ferrule (3) and a second ferrule (4), joined by elements by programmable elastic means (5) in the manner of elastic rods or straps with shape memory, wherein each ferrule (3) (4) has a housing (3.1) (4.1) for housing vibration-generating means (6) and (7) fed by means of cables (6.1) and (7.1), respectively, by a control unit which is in charge of controlling and adjusting vibration intensity, phase and speed, wherein the programmable elastic means is preferably a nickel-titanium alloy, and may be compressed air. A device is obtained that is simple to implement and apply in the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis disorders.

Abstract: Device for the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis of the extremities generally shaped as a case, in the form of a glove or a sock, which comprises: an inner layer made of a porous material (14); a second layer in the form of a paraffin-filled bladder (1) that covers the entire inner space; surrounding said inner paraffin layer (1), the following are placed: a Polytetrafluoroethylene splint (2) equipped with means designed to straighten the fingers or toes (wires made of nitinol or a similar material); a very thin layer made of latex or an insulating material (4); and, finally, an outer cover (6); it may further be equipped with wires or coils (5) around each finger or parallel to the palm or the back of the hand. Moreover, it is equipped with a control unit (12) for turning on and for controlling the temperatures and currents to be applied.
