Abstract
A device for the delivery of low amplitude vibration to limbs comprises a flexible sleeve adaptable to fit circumferentially around the limb of a living being; means for mounting the sleeve about the limb; means for generating a low amplitude vibration, carried by said sleeve; and means for transmitting the vibrations to said limb. A method for the treatment of repetitive trauma syndrome comprises affixing a device providing a flexible sleeve circumferentially about the limb affected and transmitting a low amplitude vibration from the device to the limb.
