Abstract

It is intended to provide a wear for electrically stimulating muscles to be used for, e.g., rehabilitation or exercise whereby an electrode can be conveniently provided at such a position as allowingthe electrode to stimulate the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle to be moved in toning up the muscle through electrical stimulation on the muscle by taking advantage of the muscular contraction caused by electrically stimulating the muscle. A wear (A1) for electrically stimulating muscles which comprises the wear body (1), a required number of openings (2) which are provided in the wear body (1)in such a manner that each opening is located at the nerve-muscular junction or in the neighborhood of the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle to be moved in the case where a wearer wears the wear body (1), and electrodes (8) provided at the respective openings (2) in such a manner that each electrode located on the skin surface at the nerve-muscular junction or in the neighborhood of the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle in the case where a wearer wears the wear body (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wearing device for electrical muscle stimulation. More specifically, it relates to a wearing device for muscle electrical stimulation, which is used as a rehabilitation or exercise device for exercising a muscle by performing electrical stimulation on the muscle to exercise the muscle by using the muscle contraction. In the case of electrical stimulation (skeletal muscle electrical stimulation), electrode positioning can be easily performed so that the electrodes are set at positions capable of stimulating the neuromuscular junction of the muscle to be exercised. Background technique [0002] Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS: Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is attracting attention as an effective method that can be applied to assistive rehabilitation equipment or exercise equipment (including so-called health equipment). Unlike exercises using heavy objects such as dumbbell exercises, exercises based on electrical m...
