Wearable respiratory myoelectricity stimulation device

Abstract

The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a wearable respiratory myoelectricity stimulation device. The device comprises: a control unit which is used for generating corresponding electric stimulation current according to input information; and a phrenic nerve stimulation wearable electrode unit and an abdominal muscle stimulation wearable electrode unit which are both connected to the control unit and used for receiving the current, wherein the current acts on nerves or muscles, wherein the electrode position of the phrenic nerve stimulation wearable electrode unit corresponds to the phrenic nerve after being worn, and the electrode position of the abdominal muscle stimulation wearable electrode unit corresponds to rectus abdominis and obliquus abdominis. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides the wearable device suitable for household, the device is convenient for a user to wear, the electrode is aligned with a part needing electric stimulation after wearing, theoperation is simple, and the user can be helped to recover the spontaneous respiration by training the muscle strength and endurance of the diaphragm muscle and the abdominal muscle.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosure relates to the field of medical technology, in particular to a wearable electrical stimulation device for respiratory muscles. Background technique [0002] Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD for short) is a common and frequently-occurring disease that seriously endangers human health, seriously affects the quality of life of patients, and has a high mortality rate. Respiratory muscle weakness or respiratory muscle fatigue is an important cause of respiratory failure in COPD, but there is currently no better way to improve respiratory muscle fatigue in COPD patients. [0003] In respiratory muscle movement and pulmonary ventilation, diaphragm and abdominal muscles, as the most important inspiratory and expiratory muscles, play an important role in pulmonary ventilation. The electric stimulation system can be used to treat the patient, but when the patient is being treated at home, the parameters of the instrument are generally ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the electrodes are attached to the patient during treatment, if you use a desktop instrument, because the relative position of the instrument is fixed, the operation may cause changes in body position when the distance is a little far away, which will affect the treatment; if the instrument is equipped with a movable trolley, it will increase the consumption. burden, not suitable for family situations

[0004] Based on the above, the existing electrical stimulation equipment for respiratory muscles has the disadvantage of inconvenient use for patients
