Wearable electrical stimulation system for pathological tremor suppression

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable electrical stimulation system for pathological tremor suppression, which comprises a wearable binding structure, a sensor device, an information processor, a controller and an actuator, wherein the sensor device is connected with the information processor for transmitting motion information of a shivering limb and original electromyographic information, the information processor is connected with the controller for transmitting the motion information of the shivering limb and the electromyographic information after filtering, the controller is connected with the actuator for transmitting an electrical stimulation signal, the sensor device, the information processor, the controller and the actuator are respectively arranged on the wearable binding structure, and the wearable binding structure is bound on the shivering limb. The wearable electrical stimulation system changes the traditional way of treating pathological tremors, and a patient can wear the system on the shivering limb under the situation that the medication fails, thereby suppressing the tremors by relying on electrical stimulation without carrying out an operation and taking a medicine, being convenient and easy to use, having low cost and a wide range of applications, avoiding affecting the autokinetic normal motion of the patient, having no need of guidance of a doctor and having significant efficacy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system in the technical field of rehabilitation medical equipment, in particular to a wearable electrical stimulation system for suppressing pathological tremors. Background technique [0002] Pathological tremors are a common disorder among older adults characterized by involuntary, rhythmic shaking of parts of the body. There are many causes, such as Parkinson's disease, stroke (stroke), traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis. This is a high frequency jitter compared to normal human activity. Generally speaking, the frequency range of action tremor is 3-5 Hz, the frequency range of postural tremor is 6-12 Hz, and the frequency range of static tremor is 3-6 Hz. Morbid tremor does not seem to be a fatal disease, but it will seriously affect the patient's quality of life, and some simple daily activities such as writing, typing on the keyboard, holding a water glass, and buttoning buttons cannot be completed normally...

Problems solved by technology

However, this technology focuses on the material of the surrounding body and lacks application goals (such as suppressing pathological tremors). In fact, it is only a design of the electrical stimulation interface and does not have the integrity of the entire electrical stimulation system.
