NIMS launches advanced physiotherapy equipment

The Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) on Wednesday inaugurated three state-of-the-art medical devices worth Rs. 40 lakh for its physiotherapy department.

The newly launched equipment includes Dynamometry (Force Measurement System) to assess muscle strength, joint mobility and balance, a Foot Pressure Analysis



System, and the latest version of Shortwave Diathermy (SWD).

While the Foot Pressure Analysis System will enable physiotherapists to evaluate gait, posture, foot pressure distribution, balance and orthotic needs, the Shortwave Diathermy will provide deep tissue therapy for pain relief, inflammation and injuries, a press release said.
