Show Vernal couple donatesi machine to hospital i 'at Treatment of bruises, sprains and hematomas will be facilitated by the addition of an electro-galvanic stimulator- recently donated to the Uintah County Hospital. i The $3,000 machine, donated by Mildred and Glenn Cooper, uses low amperage electrical pulses to relieve pain and increase localized circulation. According to Ronald Enloe, physical therapist at the hospital, even though the stimulator can operate at high voltages, it doesn't cause damage to tissue because of its very low current,or; amperage. The low current is emitted through two or four contact pads placed on the desired area and a larger pad, placed on the back, receives the current. Also f by using a spatuJa-iiKe attachment,11 machine can locate areas of pain, Hi The electro-galvanic stimulator ' treat much deeper than if' stimulators which use ultra-so f Enloe commented. ,r)', par The Coopers interest in donatio machine was sparked while up.
