Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to kinesiology technology, specifically to a kinesiology component based on sEMG muscle electrical signals. Background Technology
[0002] Kinesiology tape, also known as kinesiology tape or muscle tape, is a type of elastic tape widely used in sports medicine and rehabilitation. The following is a detailed introduction to kinesiology tape:
[0003] I. Materials and Characteristics
[0004] Sports kinesiology tape is primarily made of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, offering excellent elasticity, fit, and breathability. It conforms to the skin without restricting range of motion, providing athletes with continuous support and protection.
[0005] II. Main Functions
[0006] Pain Relief: Kinesiology tape works by lifting the skin and underlying tissues, reducing pressure and irritation, thereby lowering the pressure on pain receptors and raising the pain threshold, helping to alleviate muscle and joint pain. Whether it's muscle strain caused by overexertion or lower back pain from prolonged sitting, kinesiology tape can provide immediate relief.
[0007] Enhance muscle function: Kinesiology tape mimics the elasticity of human skin, providing vertical and shear forces that act on muscles, helping to improve muscle function. For example, applying it to leg muscles while running can reduce muscle fatigue and enhance endurance.
[0008] Promotes blood circulation: When sports tape is applied to the body, it creates wrinkles, increasing the space between the skin and muscles, thereby promoting lymphatic and blood circulation. By creating wrinkles, gaps are formed between the skin and subcutaneous tissue, allowing for smoother flow of blood and lymph. This helps deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, accelerating muscle recovery and damage repair.
[0009] Joint support and stability: Kinesiology tape provides additional support and stability, helping to prevent further injury while maintaining range of motion. This is crucial for athletes to prevent injuries during competition.
[0010] III. Usage Instructions and Precautions
[0011] Cleanse your skin: Before applying the sports tape, make sure your skin is clean and dry to ensure the tape adheres firmly.
[0012] Avoid overstretching: Overstretching will reduce the effectiveness of the sports tape and may even cause injury. Therefore, apply appropriate tension as needed when applying the tape.
[0013] Choose the right application method: Sports tape comes in various application methods, such as I-shape, Y-shape, and claw shape. Different application methods are suitable for different areas and situations. For example, the I-shape is suitable for relieving muscle tension, the Y-shape is suitable for stabilizing joints, and the claw shape is mostly used to reduce swelling.
[0014] Choose the duration of use according to your needs: if it is for support and protection, you can remove the sports tape after exercise; if it is for promoting tissue repair, you can wear it for 24 hours.
[0015] IV. Application Scenarios
[0016] In the sports field: kinesiology tape is widely used in sports such as running, swimming, and basketball, providing athletes with continuous support and protection, preventing injuries, and improving athletic performance.
[0017] Rehabilitation therapy: In rehabilitation centers, kinesiology tape is also used to assist in the treatment of some chronic injuries and help patients recover faster.
[0018] In the beauty field: Furthermore, kinesiology tape has great potential applications in the beauty industry. It can not only improve body shape but also lift the face, reducing nasolabial folds and forehead wrinkles.
[0019] sEMG (surface electromyography) is an important type of muscle electrical signal. The following is a detailed explanation:
[0020] I. Definition and Origin
[0021] Definition: sEMG is an electrical signal accompanying muscle contraction. It is a bioelectrical signal of neuromuscular system activity that is guided and recorded on the muscle surface by electrodes. It is the result of the temporal and spatial superposition of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) in numerous muscle fibers.
[0022] Generation: When the nervous system controls muscles to perform activities (contraction or relaxation), different muscle fiber motor units generate different signals at the same time. These signals are superimposed on the skin surface in time and space, thus forming sEMG.
[0023] II. Characteristics and Attributes
[0024] One-dimensional action potential sequence: sEMG is a one-dimensional time action potential sequence, which is therefore easy to acquire and process.
[0025] Alternating current signal (sEMG): sEMG is an alternating current signal, and its amplification is generally proportional to the intensity of muscle movement. Different movements produce different sEMGs, therefore, movements can be classified by collecting sEMG data.
[0026] Non-stationary micro-electric signals: sEMG is a type of non-stationary micro-electric signal with an amplitude between 0 and 1.5mV, a useful signal frequency between 0 and 500Hz, and its main energy concentrated between 20 and 150Hz.
[0027] Lead time: sEMG is generally generated 30 to 150 ms ahead of limb movement, so it can be used to predict the next movement.
[0028] Non-invasive: Compared to needle electrode electromyography (which requires insertion into the muscle), sEMG uses surface electrodes, which do not require piercing the skin, and has the advantages of being non-invasive, non-traumatic, and easy to operate.
[0029] When using existing sports kinesiology tape, the adhesive is too strong, causing it to easily stick to the skin upon contact. If the user needs to adjust the position of the tape, it must be peeled off, which significantly reduces the tape's effectiveness. Furthermore, after prolonged use, the tape becomes difficult to remove easily. Current kinesiology tape is mostly designed for land-based sports and is not suitable for underwater sports. It is also often discarded after a single use, which is wasteful. In addition, current sports kinesiology tape is too technical and not suitable for beginners. Utility Model Content
[0030] The purpose of this invention is to provide a kinesiology tape component based on sEMG muscle electrical signals, in order to solve the problems of existing technologies. When users apply kinesiology tape to the surface of their muscles, the adhesive of the tape is too strong, so it easily sticks to the skin once it comes into contact with the skin. If the user needs to adjust the position of the tape, the tape must be peeled off, which greatly reduces the fixation effect of the tape. Moreover, after being worn for too long, the tape cannot be easily peeled off. Existing kinesiology tapes are mostly suitable for land-based sports and cannot be used for underwater sports. Existing technologies are mostly disposable after one use, which is very wasteful. In addition, existing sports kinesiology tapes are too professional and not conducive to the use of beginners.
[0031] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a motion patch assembly based on sEMG electromyography signals, comprising a fixing film, each end of which is provided with a raised point, a sensing chip is mounted on one side of the fixing film, an adhesive is mounted on one side of the fixing film, the adhesive is located outside the sensing chip, and two symmetrically arranged cover films are mounted on the side of the adhesive away from the fixing film.
[0032] Furthermore, the fixing membrane is a one-piece molded structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the side of the protrusion that is in contact with the skin is not provided with adhesive, so that the fixing film can be quickly peeled off the skin.
[0034] Compared with existing technologies, the sports kinesiology tape assembly based on sEMG muscle electrical signals provided by this utility model has the advantages of a cover film that allows for proper positioning before application, preventing the tape from losing its adhesiveness due to repeated application. The raised points allow for quick removal of the tape from the skin. The tape in this case is waterproof and suitable for any sport. The tape can be reused by changing the adhesive. The sEMG electrical signal sensor can monitor muscle status in a timely manner and prevent muscle damage. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1:
[0042] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 2 A motion patch assembly based on sEMG electromyography signals includes a fixation membrane 1, with protrusions 2 installed at each end of the fixation membrane 1, a sensor chip 3 installed on one side of the fixation membrane 1, an adhesive 4 installed on one side of the fixation membrane 1, the adhesive 4 being located outside the sensor chip 3, and two symmetrically arranged cover films 5 installed on the side of the adhesive 4 away from the fixation membrane 1.
[0043] In a specific implementation, the fixation film 1 is a one-piece molded structure. The side of the protruding point 2 that contacts the skin does not have adhesive 4, allowing the fixation film 1 to be quickly peeled off the skin. The surface of the sensor chip 3 has an sEMG electrical signal sensor and a Bluetooth transmitter. The sEMG electrical signal sensor can quickly record the electrical signals generated by muscle movement, enabling the sensor chip 3 to monitor the user's muscle state in real time and transmit the signals to the user's device via Bluetooth. This allows the user to observe their muscle state in real time, especially for beginners, facilitating timely adjustments to their exercise plan and methods to avoid muscle injury. The fixation film 1 and adhesive 4 are made of waterproof material, making the entire device suitable for any sport. A small power storage module is installed inside the sensor chip 3 to power it.
[0044] Working principle: When using, first find the position where you want to stick the kinesiology tape, and lift a part of the cover film 5 facing the opposite direction. Then stick the fixing film 1 to the skin with the adhesive 4. When a part of the fixing film 1 is accurately stuck to the user's skin with the adhesive 4, peel off the cover film 5 completely so that the fixing film 1 can be completely attached to the user's skin, so that the sensor chip 3 can be accurately positioned above the muscle that needs to be monitored.
[0045] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
