Abstract
An inductively coupled magnetical signal (pulse wave, 0.7 to 60Hz, eighteen volts peak to Peak) that was applied non-invasively on the skin surface overlying the approximate site(measure position). In the group with unipolar pulse signal currents produced smaller than in the group with bipolar pulse signal. The signal was transmitted to the active coil, including a time-varying magnetic field: this in turn induced a the-varying electrical field in the field in the bone. It is very important to determine system parameters due to treatment time(healing) and the simplicity. This paper investigation was designed to compare the relative effects of pulsed unipolar currents with the effects of an identical pulsed bipolar currents. Since Inductive coupling is non-invasive and involves portable equipment, it is easy to apply and requires precise localization, it has distinct advantages and field characteristics along the bone for each different signal.
