Problems solved by technology

The problem with using a common controller for all garments is that the user or therapist must configure the controller for each garment type before use
This is again error-prone and also inflexible as it requires all necessary data to be loaded into the controller beforehand

Embodiment Construction

[0038] figure 1 A typical wiring garment 100 and controller 102 are shown connected together in a suitable manner such as a plug or other connector 104 . The controller may be an electronic module, and the wiring garment may also include a component 105 that supports a data storage device 106 . For example, the data storage device may be a serial data Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) or any other suitable type of storage device.

[0039] figure 1 The garment in is in the form of a body belt with four separate electrodes 108a, 108b, 108c, 108d, each of which informs the desired stimulation at a particular location on the body wearing the belt. The belt may be fitted with fastening means for holding the belt in place and may also include some external indicators to enable correct positioning of the belt on the body.

[0040] refer to figure 2 , a different garment 200 is shown. The garment includes four electrodes 202a - 202d each connected to a...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for making a connection with a part of a body to transfer an electromagnetic signal for a predetermined purpose, the apparatus including: a garment including one or more electrode capable of passing the signal to or from the part of the body; and a controller for controlling the nature of or processing the signal dependant on one or more parameters in order to vary the nature of the signal dependant on the purpose; wherein at least one parameter of the one or more parameters is stored on a data storage device included in the garment.

Description

Background technique [0001] Often it is necessary to make electrical connections to the body surface (body surface) to measure electrical activity originating from the body (inside) or to deliver electrical energy into the body. It is often desirable to position one or more electrodes in contact with the skin at specific anatomical locations for the intended application. Attachment means are also often designed to incorporate one or more electrodes on the skin-facing surface, such as a garment, coat, or brace (brace), which rests on the body when the garment is worn by the user. target anatomical location. Typically, such garments incorporate wiring that connects the electrodes to the electronic module via detachable connectors. US Patent 6885896 describes such a system in which the electronic module is joined to a holster which is mounted (fixed) on an abdominal belt with wires connected inside and delivers electrical stimulation signals to a holster mounted on on the skin...
