This solution describes solution of vibromechanism for stimulation nerve paths and nerve endings injured patients. Medical doctors stimulate nerve paths and nerve endings patients after injury of spine or after another injury where was broken nerve endings. These methods are in primary designed for tetraplegic and paraplegic patients specially for men. For this request was developed device and mechanism for vibrostimulation of nerve paths and nerve endings. In develop of construction has been paying attention to safety of mechanism. Next were taken into account the construction of other devices, especially their shortcomings in the operation on the accumulator. For mains powered vibrators 230 (110) Volt were assessed for safety and noise vibrating mechanism. The sum of all failures was proposed structure described below. The success rate of this vibration method is reported mostly between 60-80%.

The semitendinous muscle of the lizard Tilique contains both slow and twitch fibers; by subdivision of its motor nerve, fibers of each type may be stimulated separately. When, during repetitive stimulation of nerve filaments, the muscle was lengthened or shortened, the tension changes included an initial short-range stiffness, followed by a later compliance. With increasing velocities of movement, the short-range stiffness increased toward a limiting value. For slow fibers this limiting value was reached with lower velocities of movement than for the twitch fibers. Provided that the same velocity of movement was used and the movements began from similar initial isometric tensions, the slow fibers resisted the movements with a greater stiffness than the twitch fibers. It is suggested that not all of the observed differences between the two fiber types can be interpreted simply in terms of differences in rates of formation and breakdown of cross-links.

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation using kilohertz-frequency alternating current (AC) became popular in the 1950s with the introduction of “interferential currents,” promoted as a means of producing depth-efficient stimulation of nerve and muscle. Later, “Russian current” was adopted as a means of muscle strengthening. This article reviews some clinically relevant, laboratory-based studies that offer an insight into the mechanism of action of kilohertz-frequency AC. It provides some answers to the question: “What are the optimal stimulus parameters for eliciting forceful, yet comfortable, electrically induced muscle contractions?” It is concluded that the stimulation parameters commonly used clinically (Russian and interferential currents) are suboptimal for achieving their stated goals and that greater benefit would be obtained using short-duration (2–4 millisecond), rectangular bursts of kilohertz-frequency AC with a frequency chosen to maximize the desired outcome.
