Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method for providing treatment feedback relating to a patient undergoing therapeutic treatment of tissue during dynamic motion therapy are provided. The apparatus includes a platform (104) configured to support a body of the patient; an oscillator (112) connected to the platform and configured to impart an oscillating force at a predetermined frequency on the platform for transmitting mechanical vibration energy through the patient's body, and a processing device (402) in operable communication with the platform for processing data related to the therapeutic treatment and for determining the amount of mechanical vibration energy transmitting through the patient's body. The apparatus further includes a treatment feedback indicator (108) for indicating (e.g., displaying) the amount of mechanical vibration energy transmitting through the patient's body.
