Emprêgo da iontoforese no tratamento do pé caído leprótico

ABSTRACT

The use of iontophoresis in the treatment of the fallen leprotic foot. By Walter Belda and Luiz Eugˆnio Reginato. Out of 16 cases of leprosy feet-drops the authors present 8 cases of total revertion by iontophoresis with galvanic current, In their experience the treatment of the late foot-drop is a problem of orthopaedics, with tendon transplant or arthrodesis. In the early foot-drop, in the absent of total degeneration revealed by electrical examens, good results can be obtained by iontophoresis.
