A remote-controlled wearable functional electrical stimulation device

Abstract

The invention discloses a remote control-type wearable functional electrical stimulation device, which comprises a handheld remote control device, an electrical stimulation device carrier and multiple electrodes, wherein the electrical stimulation device carrier is a wearable device and comprises surface fabric at the outer side and heating sealing layer fabric at the inner side; the electrical stimulation device carrier is internally provided with a control processing electrical stimulation device and wires for being connected with the electrodes; the control processing electrical stimulation device controls each electrode to give electrical stimulation; the wires are led out by the control processing electrical stimulation device and arranged between the surface fabric and the heating sealing layer fabric; and the surface fabric and the heating sealing layer fabric are tightly attached by cloth heat sealing and / or sewing technology, and the wires are fixed. Stimulation sites on the human body superficial muscle can be positioned and stimulated accurately, effects of massaging and training the muscle or muscle groups are achieved, wearing, using and cleaning are facilitated, and the user himself or herself can position the needed stimulation site at home for rehabilitation or physical therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a functional electrical stimulation device, more specifically a remote-control wearable functional electrical stimulation device. Background technique [0002] Functional electrical stimulation can treat human diseases, and this technology is widely used in the fields of clinically relevant disease treatment and sports rehabilitation. Reasonable and effective electrical stimulation can improve physical activity, reduce muscle ischemia and hypoxia, prevent muscle atrophy, enhance muscle and muscle group function, and achieve the purpose of exercising muscle strength, endurance and muscle group coordination, and relieve muscle tension. , muscle spasms, and joint swelling and pain. With reasonable rehabilitation training, the range of motion of the joints can be maintained and increased. For the selection of electrical stimulation sites, the muscle abdomen or the tendons at both ends of the muscle are usually selected. The sele...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Users need to find the mains power supply and use it nearby, and the device connected to the power supply cable will affect the normal activities of the user when using it

[0008] 2. The selection of electrical stimulation sites is limited

[0009] Poor contact between the electrodes and the human skin will affect the effect of physiotherapy

Affected by the length of the electrode wire, the distance between different stimulation points should not be too far apart; and when the human body moves, it is easy to cause the electrode sheet to fall off, affecting the use effect

[0010] 3. The location of electrical stimulation is not clear

[0011] Without the guidance of professionals, due to the unclear location of electrical stimulation, the user may deviate in the selection of the stimulation location, which will affect the effect of physical therapy

[0012] 4. It is impossible to realize the coordinated exercise of multiple muscle groups

[0013] Due to the limited number of electrical stimulation sites, only limited muscles or muscle groups can be stimulated at the same time. The stimulation of a single muscle or a single group of muscle groups limits the integrity of the treatment and the synergy between the various muscle groups, which not only affects the use effect, but also May lead to overstimulation of a single muscle or group of muscles, resulting in injury;

[0014] 5. Two-way waste of resources between users and medical institutions

[0015] For the electrical stimulation device used in medical institutions, the user can use it for rehabilitation or physical therapy only after the doctor determines the required electrical stimulation point, and the user cannot locate the desired stimulation point at home

The distance to seek medical treatment has brought great obstacles to users with reduced mobility, and at the same time caused unnecessary waste of resources

[0016] 6. It is difficult to clean the device

[0017] Existing wearable electrical stimulation devices cannot be thoroughly cleaned from the beginning of use. After a long period of use, the device will be polluted and unnecessary harm will be caused to the user
