Abstract
A system and method for facilitating the healing of a skin ulcer, such as a diabetic ulcer, on a treatment region of a body. Ultrasound waves are transmitted to the treatment region. Interferential electrical stimulation is applied to the treatment region, simultaneously with the ultrasound transmission. The treatment region may be massaged with a massaging device during the treatment session. A gel may be applied onto the treatment region to facilitate the ultrasound transmission and electrical stimulation. A measurement system may be used to obtain accurate measurements of the skin ulcer, to provide a quantitative determination of the healing progression.
