State and prospects of supplying the USSR with physiotherapy equipment

Abstract

Physical methods are becoming more and more important as an important preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic factor. This explains the interest of health authorities in these methods. The development of physical methods of treatment and diagnostics began in our country in the years after the October Revolution. Instead of the 4 physiotherapy institutions that existed in Russia during the imperialist war, there are now more than 80 physiotherapy institutions on the territory of the RSFSR alone, of which 8 are state scientific demonstration institutes.
