[Guest guest]

Could new technology be used on the face

>Dear Group,

>There is a new technology out by Neotonus. I am wondering if it could be

used

>on the fact to rehab paralysis. An engineer at Georgia Tech invented a

device

>that used pulsating magnetic fields to contract and then relax muscles. He

>got the idea from all those devices that use electrodes to " exercise "

muscles

>with electricity. Apparently, he realized that while electricity is painful

a

>magnetic field would not be. I saw a demonstration of the device and was

>amazed. I thought it would be some bogus thing due to " healing magnets " and

>other fringe things. They actually put the device against my arm, and

through

>my clothes, my muscles started to contract and relax and I perceived no

pain.

>They say the pulsating magnetic field generates electrical current in the

>muscles and they contract. I should have asked if it could be used to rehab

>facial nerve damage. They may be too new to have gottten that far. I have

>nothing to do with the company, it just happens to be right by my house.
