  Abstract

In this paper, we have implemented a device for treating pain, infection, swelling, and fracture of the affected part of acute chronic muscle disorder by supplying cold water and hot water to a dedicated cuff wrapping the body part at a uniform pressure. This device supplies cold water and hot water through the cuff, air and water pump for circulation of air and hot and cold water applied to the affected part, Peltier element and heat exchanger, cold water tank for circulation, hot water tank and control and a touch TFT LCD control unit for monitoring, and is constructed as a heat insulating structure for preventing heat loss and condensation. The optimal performance conditions for the maximum and minimum temperatures per unit time were tested by finding optimal pressure conditions for the human body cuff and by monitoring the skin temperature to precisely measure the temperature during cooling and warming.
