Embodiment Construction

[0029] like figure 1 As shown, this figure is a schematic diagram of the lateral side of the calf, where the concept of lateral side is anatomically defined. exist figure 1 , the line segment from the tip of the lateral malleolus 5 to the head of the fibula 1 is quartered. Reference numerals 2, 3 and 4 are respectively the high point, the middle point and the low point in the electrode sheet placement sites of the embodiment of the present invention, and the electrode sheet is placed on the skin surface near these sites in the embodiment of the present invention .

[0030] Figure 2 to Figure 4 The electrode pads of the device for preventing ankle sprains of the present invention are used for figure 1 Schematic representation of the high, mid, and low sites shown. The sensing part 6 is designed in various possible ways such as sticking, sewing or integrating with the athlete's sports shoes 7 . The stimulating part 8 is connected to the sensing part 6 through a connection...

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for preventing ankle sprains and a method for using the device. The device includes: a sensing part (6), which is used to monitor the inversion speed of the foot. When the inversion speed of the foot is greater than a preset threshold value, the induction The part sends a trigger signal to the stimulating part; the stimulating part (8) connected with the sensing part (6) by wire or wirelessly, the stimulating part (8) includes a pulse generator and a pulse generator that generates a peroneal muscle stimulating signal after receiving the triggering signal The electrode sheet that is in contact with the peroneus muscle surface skin; the device also includes an auxiliary measuring device that positions the electrode sheet at a point on the skin surface between the fibular capillary head (1) and the lateral malleolus tip (5), and this point reaches the fibula capillary The distance between the heads is one quarter of the distance between the head of the fibula and the tip of the lateral malleolus. The invention has the beneficial effects of allowing athletes to quickly find the best stimulation position and reducing ankle sprains.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an exercise assisting device, in particular to a device for preventing ankle sprains and a method for using the same. Background technique [0002] In strenuous exercise, such as running fast, playing ball, and going up and down stairs, injuries to the muscles of the lower extremities are very common. This kind of injury often brings severe pain and inconvenience to the athlete, and some even bring long-term damage to the athlete. [0003] Prior art devices are primarily designed based on the peroneus muscle to prevent ankle sprains caused by ankle inversion. However, the peroneal muscle in different positions responds differently to electrical stimulation, and some responses are slow or inconspicuous, resulting in the situation that athletes still sprain their ankles when using stimulation devices. Therefore need a kind of device that can allow sportsman to find optimal stimulation position correctly, reduce the sprain situa...
