SUMMARY OF REPORTS OF INJURED ATHLETES TREATED WITH PAPIMI

Reported by Dr M.Aberkios, M.D.,

March 10, 2000

SEGAS has established an on going research program of training injured athletes with PAPIMI. This is the first time we used the PAPIMI Device on track, lifting weights and modern Pentathlon with athletes between the ages of 20-30. All treatments were contacted under the observation of a physiotherapist. Our athletes did not undergo any other medical treatment prior to PAPIMI applications. For our pilot research we selected the 13 injured athletes that requested physiotherapy during the period time between November '99 and January 2000. Bellow, we list the initials of the athletes, their diagnosis, the time of every treatment, and the results of the treatment.

a/a	INITIALS	DIAGNOSIS		TREATMENT			RESULTS
			10 min. Exposures
1.	G.TH.(S)	Quadriceps Injury			6	Satisfactory improvement
2.	k.k..(S)	Adductor Tendonitis			7	Medium improvement
3.	A.M.(S)	Supraspinal Tendonitis			5	Medium improvement
4.	A.G.(M.P.)	Metatarsus Osteal Fracture			8	Very good improvement
5.	L.K.(A.B.)	Supraspinal Tendonitis			4	Medium improvement
6.	N.M..(A.B.)	Wrist Ligamental Injury			6	Improvement
7.	N.T.(A.B.)	Lumbago			5	Satisfactory improvement
8.	X.S.(S)	Adductor Injury			5	Medium improvement
9.	G.P.(S)	Metatarsus Osteal Fracture			6	Medium improvement
10.	B.T.(S)	Tibia Osteal Fracture			12	Very good improvement
11.	E.TH.(S)	Plantar Tendonitis			5	Satisfactory improvement
12.	TH.S.(S)	Achilles Tendonitis			6	Medium improvement
13.	k.k..(S)	Quadriceps Injury			4	Medium improvement

The PAPIMI applications proved to be very simple,reasuring satisfactory and without side effects. Our pilot athletes found the applications to be very pleasant.
Although our first research number of athletes that underwent the specific treatment with PAPIMI was a small one and only in a few cases the treatment instructions were followed exactly, thus far, our findings, on PAPIMI treatment are quite reassuring and satisfactory.
We continue our research and we hope in the near future that we will be able to present you a complete report.
