Abstract

This review article elucidates the application and viability of electromagnetic fields as therapy and rehabilitation method for the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies. All studies were found in different databases such as Science Direct, Scielo, IEEE, ProQuest, Pubmed, among others, where the search for information contemplated a period of 5 years (2016-2020). Results evidenced that electromagnetic fields used to treat musculoskeletal conditions showed positive results and improvements in reducing chronic and acute pain in different musculoskeletal pathologies such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, nonunions, fractures, fibromyalgia, muscular system injuries, among others. It was possible to evidence that one of the most used magnetic treatments were pulsed electromagnetic fields, which have been implemented to treat joint, muscle and nervous diseases. Additionally, several devices to generate the magnetic stimulation have been designed with a therapeutic and rehabilitation approach, which elucidate the progress in the implementation and acceptance of this type of therapeutic alternatives to treat musculoskeletal conditions. Finally, magnetic stimulation has been also implemented to enhance biomaterials function, evidencing that scaffolds stimulated with electromagnetic fields improve musculoskeletal tissue regeneration.

电磁场作为治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的非侵入性替代疗法

本文综述了电磁场作为一种治疗和康复方法在肌肉骨骼疾病治疗中的应用和可行性。所有的研究都是在不同的数据库中发现的，如Science Direct、Scielo、IEEE、ProQuest、Pubmed等，其中的信息搜索预计为期5年(2016-2020)。结果证明，用于治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的电磁场在减少不同肌肉骨骼疾病(如骨关节炎、骨质疏松症、骨不连、骨折、纤维肌痛、肌肉系统损伤等)的慢性和急性疼痛方面显示出积极的效果和改善。有可能有证据表明，最常用的磁疗之一是脉冲电磁场，它已被用于治疗关节、肌肉和神经疾病。此外，一些产生磁刺激的设备已经被设计成具有治疗和康复方法，这阐明了在实施和接受这种类型的治疗替代方案来治疗肌肉骨骼疾病方面的进展。最后，磁刺激也被用于增强生物材料的功能，证明电磁场刺激的支架可以改善肌肉骨骼组织的再生。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Research and Technology (JART) is a bimonthly open access journal that publishes papers on innovative applications, development of new technologies and efficient solutions in engineering, computing and scientific research. JART publishes manuscripts describing original research, with significant results based on experimental, theoretical and numerical work. The journal does not charge for submission, processing, publication of manuscripts or for color reproduction of photographs. JART classifies research into the following main fields: -Material Science: Biomaterials, carbon, ceramics, composite, metals, polymers, thin films, functional materials and semiconductors. -Computer Science: Computer graphics and visualization, programming, human-computer interaction, neural networks, image processing and software engineering. -Industrial Engineering: Operations research, systems engineering, management science, complex systems and cybernetics applications and information technologies -Electronic Engineering: Solid-state physics, radio engineering, telecommunications, control systems, signal processing, power electronics, electronic devices and circuits and automation. -Instrumentation engineering and science: Measurement devices (pressure, temperature, flow, voltage, frequency etc.), precision engineering, medical devices, instrumentation for education (devices and software), sensor technology, mechatronics and robotics.
