Abstract
A medical therapy device includes at least one sensor for detecting a varle that can be measured on the body of a patient. An evaluating and control device is connected to the output of the sensor. A therapy device is connected to the output of the evaluating and control device and provides different therapies or therapy variables as a function of the value of the therapy control variable. A processing unit has an input connected to the output of a time controlled fluctuation-value generator which is connected between the output of the sensor and the input of the evaluating and control device. At least one temporal fluctuation value is combined with the sensor measured value in a processing unit which produces a corrected sensor measured value that is fed to the evaluating and control device so that, a value of the therapy control variable determined by the evaluating and control device is changed in comparison to a determination of the therapy control variable for an original measured value and/or a measured value corrected with a different fluctuation value.
