Summary:The paper presents a mechatronic system that will use two types of techniques: cold technique and ultrasound. The system will use the technique of cold (cryogenics) and will allow the treatment of the different pathologies of the locomotor device, eg. * Severe inflammatory pathologies; * Intensification of pain at the chronic degenerative level; * Severe phases in traumatology (pain-spasm-immobilization treatment, improvement in the recovery process and faster recovery. The system supports the healing process, causes a faster recovery due to the interruption of the pain cycle, because, there is a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect on the treated tissues. Using cryogenic therapy, in the affected area, body temperature decreases, the main effects being capillary and arterial vasoconstriction and the reduction of tissue hypoxia. In other words, pain disappears and inflammation is reduced in the affected area. Ultrasound or ultrasound therapy is a very large therapeutic method within the measures of physiotherapy. This measure requires the use of waves (ultrasound) at a frequency of 1 MHz or 3 MHz, which means an emission of these ultrasounds in two types: continuous emission or pulsed (so interrupted) emission. These ultrasounds also have a component that most types of energy is not just a radiation energy but has a thermal component, ie the released thermal energy will contribute to the temperature increase in the target tissue and thus can produce a double benefit.
