An apparatus and method for mounting an ultrasound transducer head module (44). The apparatus includes an insert (20) having an axial bore therein and a plurality of tabs (26) extending radially therefrom. A spacer (30) is provided and configured to fit within a void in a cast (24). The spacer (30) has a hole therein to insertably receive the insert (20). An ultrasound transmission-enhancing medium (28) is positioned within the hole in the spacer (30) and adjacent a treatment location. The ultrasound treatment head module (44) is then positioned within the insert (20) and means (48) for biasing it toward the ultrasound transmission-enhancing medium (28) is provided. A strap may be provided to secure the apparatus adjacent a body portion to be treated, with or without the existence of a cast.

L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de montage d'un module (44) de tête de transducteur à ultrasons. Ce dispositif comprend un élément d'insertion (20) présentant un alésage axial ainsi que plusieurs languettes (26) s'étendant radialement à partir dudit élément. Une pièce d'écartement (30) est conçue pour s'ajuster dans une ouverture ménagée dans un plâtre (24) et elle comprend un trou servant à recevoir ledit élément (20), par insertion. On a placé un support (28) d'accroissement et d'émission des ultrasons dans le trou ménagé dans la pièce d'écartement (30), de manière adjacente à un emplacement de traitement et on a ensuite placé, dans l'élément d'insertion (20), le module (44) à tête de traitement ultrasonore, des moyens de sollicitation (48) étant destinés à pousser cet élément vers le support (28) d'accroissement et d'émission des ultrasons.
