TISSUE-OSCILLATOR SERIES. Plate 293.—To secure tonic, warming, derivative, nutritional, muscular, analgesic, orother possible effects on the lower extremities below the knees, prop the feet against a hassockwith enough pressure to give a fixed base for the oscillations of the soft parts under the belt asshown above. One or both ankles, calves, or legs, can be treated in the same manner. Pushbackward enough to keep the belt taut. STUDIES IN VIBRATION-THEKAPY 613 so as to yield an elastic vibration; or, it can be attached above thespring and yield a more rigid action; the patient can operate thehand-piece and guide the fingers by his own sensations, or, the opera-tor can manipulate it as first taught. A short stroke driven at speedsabove 2,000 per minute gives the best results. Both the sensory andtetanizing effects on motor points of small muscles remind one stronglyof a rapidly interrupted fine coil-current, although there is no elec-tricity in this dosage at all.
