Description

Portable integrated electric stimulator with light source and control method thereof {Portable LED Electric stimulator and the control methods}

The present invention relates to a portable integrated electric stimulator equipped with a light source and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a portable complex electric stimulator equipped with a light source (LED) and equipped with low-frequency, medium-frequency, high-frequency and microcurrent outputs.

In general, electric stimulators induce and apply a minute electric current to the human body to promote blood circulation and metabolism, alleviate human pain, cure and prevent musculoskeletal diseases, and have been used for skin care by recovering from fatigue and improving blood circulation. Because it helps in weight loss and has health-promoting effects.

The present invention relates to a portable electric stimulator having a light source that can be used anytime, anywhere, and a control method thereof, which is portable using such a minute current.

In general, electrotherapy is a method of treating various diseases by passing a minute electric current through the human body, and is also called electrotherapy. Electric therapy has various functions and uses depending on the waveform of the frequency, the strength of the current, and the application site.

Depending on the applied frequency, high-frequency treatment and low-frequency treatment devices have been developed and used. Low-frequency electrotherapy uses a frequency of several Hz to 1,000 Hz, mid-frequency electrotherapy uses 1KHz to 10KHz, and high-frequency electrotherapy uses a frequency of 100KHz or more. do.

In addition, electrical treatments such as mid-frequency and high-frequency, as well as ultrasound and phototherapy devices have been introduced as treatment devices used for pain relief and recovery of various musculoskeletal disorders such as low back pain, arthritis, spondylitis, and sports injuries. Ultrasound therapy uses a frequency of 20KHz~10MHz, applies vibration to deep human tissues, and is also used for treatment such as recovery of soft tissue damage by using the heat effect.

In addition, microcurrent stimulation therapy devices that induce and apply microcurrent to the human body according to the control of the output intensity in the range of about 10uA to 500uA or more to the human body are widely applied and used.
