Description
| - Background: One regularly finds new medical devices on the market that are ment to replace work of health care staff. The paper shows a possibility for physiotherapists to change their work using the CERAGEM massage bed, the only bed approved as a medical device in the Czech Republic. Introduction: The paper compares efficiency, financial and time demands of the CERAGEM physiotherapeutic bed (represents an automatic massage technique), and manual reflex massages done by a physiotherapist in patients with a vertebrogennal illness. Methods: The evaluation of the effectiveness included 60 patients selected in line with the recommended indications of CERAGEM massages. Half of them received 5 procedures of the CERAGEM massage followed by 5 procedures of the manual reflex massage. The second half received the massages in a reverse order. The patients were interviewed by a single person in order to evaluate subjective and objective criteria describing the health status of the patients. These evaluations were combined in a scale showing the improvement of patients´ health state. The results were compared by the Wilcoxon two-sample test. Cost effectiveness of both techniques was compared on the basis of fixed costs. Results and discussion: The results showed the usage of automatic massage beds for patients with muscle stiffness and back impaired mobility convenient. Differences in the efficiency of both therapy forms proved for various health aspects. Financial savings were compared using different cost items (acquisition, labour, overhead costs). The best cost-effectiveness proved in the case that the health care facility has 4 CERAGEM beds serviced by one support person, instead of 4 physiotherapists in case of manual massages. In the conditions of the Czech Republic, the main benefit appeared to be labour cost savings when utilizing the massage beds.
