Functional electrostimulation output apparatus and application thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a functional electrostimulation output apparatus including an electrostimulation output module and an electrode. The electrode includes a first group of electrodes and a second group of electrodes attached to the target neuromuscular part, each of the first group of electrodes and the second group of electrodes includes at least one electrode, at least one of the first group of electrodes and the second group of electrodes includes at least two electrodes, the first group of electrodes and the second group of electrodes are electrically connected with the two output ends of the electrostimulation output module, and an electrical energy adjusting device is connected between at least one electrode of the two electrodes in the same group and the output end connected with the corresponding group. The functional electrostimulation output apparatus has the electrical energy adjusting device and can realize the adjustment of the stimulation intensity to different parts by adjusting the stimulation electrical energy output of different simulation parts, so that the electrostimulation in different intensities to the different parts can still be realized under the condition of using a single-channel electrostimulation device, and the natural and accurate target motion can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a functional electrical stimulation output device and its application. Background technique [0002] The functional electrical stimulation device outputs electrical energy to the electrode pads attached to the skin surface to stimulate the target nerves and muscles to achieve the target action. Limb movements are mostly realized by the coordination of neuromuscular in multiple parts. For example, for patients with foot drop and inversion caused by central nervous system injury, it is necessary to stimulate the tibialis anterior muscle and common peroneal nerve to produce foot dorsiflexion and foot valgus at the same time when the affected foot is walking, so as to achieve a more natural gait; and the stimulation intensity of each part should be appropriate, otherwise there will be failure to produce foot dorsiflexion and / or foot eversion, or too much foot eversion and insufficient foot dorsiflexion, or too much foot dorsiflexi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Using stimulators with two or more independent channels to output currents of different intensities to stimulate different parts, the cost is high, the volume is large, and it is not easy to wear, which affects the use

In addition, manually adjusting the electrical stimulation energy and / or electrical stimulation parts to achieve the target action often requires multiple trials and errors, which is time-consuming, troublesome, and affects the use
