This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the structure of the base 3, and the manner of connecting movement of the base 3 with the first half body 11 and the second half body 21 is different, and other structures are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment, so that a repeated description will not be given. Specifically, in the fourth embodiment, the base 3 includes a back plate 31, a backing plate 33, and a fixing plate 32, which are disposed in this order. The backing plate 33 is disposed on one side of the back plate 31, the first tail 112 of the first half clamp 11 and the second tail of the second half clamp 21 are respectively disposed on the back plate 31, the fixing plates 32 are respectively pressed on one side surface of the first tail 112 of the first half clamp 11, which is located at the first end 111, and one side surface of the second tail of the second half clamp 21, which is located at the second end, so that on one hand, the first half clamp 11 is limited to move or slide only along the up-down direction between the fixing plates 32 and the backing plate 33, and the movement directions of the two first half clamps 11 are opposite; on the other hand, the second half clamp 21 is limited to move or slide only along the left-right direction between the fixed plate 32 and the backing plate 33, and the movement directions of the two second half clamps 21 are opposite, that is, the tail of the first half clamp 11 forms a movable connection with the base 3, and the tail of the second half clamp 21 forms a movable connection with the base 3; the movable booster 4 is disposed in a central through hole (which penetrates the back plate 31, the pad 33 and the fixing plate 32 in sequence) of the base 3, and is movable in the axial direction of the abnormal muscle tension damper in the central through hole, the connection position of the first tail 112 and the first end 111 of the first half clip 11 is connected to the second lug 41 of the movable booster 4 through the link 5, so as to form a double-slider mechanism (the movable booster 4 corresponds to one slider, the first tail 112 of the first half clip 11 corresponds to the other slider), and similarly, the connection position of the second tail and the second end of the second half clip 21 is connected to the second lug 41 of the movable booster 4 through the link 5, so as to form a double-slider mechanism; when the movable stress application body 4 is driven by the driving transmission mechanism to move along the axial direction of the abnormal muscle tension relieving device, the distance between the end parts of the two first half clamp bodies 11 of the first functional clamp 1 can be changed through a double-slide block mechanism, and the distance between the end parts of the two second half clamp bodies 21 of the second functional clamp 2 can be changed through a double-slide block mechanism, so that the abnormal muscle tension is relieved by applying force to fingers or toes between the two half clamp bodies of the functional clamp.

It will be appreciated that in some examples, the dystonia relieving device according to the embodiments of the present invention may also be modified accordingly, and the dystonia relieving device may also include two movable force applying bodies 4 for respectively adjusting the distance between the first ends 111 of the two first half-clips 11 of the first functional clip 1 and the distance between the second ends of the two second half-clips 21 of the second functional clip 2; correspondingly, when the abnormal muscle tone eliminator comprises two movable force applying bodies 4, the driving transmission mechanism can also comprise two driving transmission mechanisms for respectively controlling the movement of the two movable force applying bodies 4.

It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the dystonia relief device according to embodiments of the invention may be modified accordingly, for example by reducing one functional clip, thereby forming a dystonia relief device comprising only the first functional clip 1, or a dystonia relief device comprising only the second functional clip.

It will be appreciated that the tail of the first half clip 11 and/or the second half clip 21 in the third embodiment may be movably connected to the base in a similar manner to the fourth embodiment, and the tail of the first half clip 11/the second half clip 21 may be equivalent to a slider capable of sliding up and down/left and right in a plane parallel to the base to form the fourth embodiment of the abnormal muscle tension eliminator according to the present invention.

According to the muscular tension abnormality relieving device, the movable stress body 4 is driven by the driving transmission mechanism to move along the axial direction of the muscular tension abnormality relieving device, so that the change of the distance between the two half clamp bodies of the functional clamp is regulated and changed, and the action of the finger or toe applied force between the two half clamp bodies of the functional clamp is realized, so that muscular tension abnormality is relieved; the abnormal muscle tension relieving device has the advantages of simple structure, convenient use, easy popularization and low cost; the muscular tension abnormality relieving device of the present invention is provided with a force sensor 6, which can measure the magnitude of the force between the first functional clamp 1 and the second functional clamp 2, thereby knowing the force applied to the finger or toe, and controlling the force applied to the finger or toe according to the measurement result of the force sensor 6; the dystonia relieving device of the invention can be applied to relieving dystonia of muscle groups controlling fine movements of hands, feet and the like; according to the dystonia relieving device, the myoelectric sensor is arranged on the muscle group (such as the dorsal side of middle phalangeal bones of index finger and middle finger) of a limb with dystonia, so that a user can know the dystonia condition (such as the degree of relief of flexor spasm of a hand) and is used for controlling the movable stress body to move along the axial direction of the dystonia relieving device according to the monitoring result of the myoelectric sensor, and the acting force between two half clamp bodies of the functional clamp is adjusted; according to the abnormal muscle tension relieving device, the inertial sensor is arranged on the spasmodic finger or toe to monitor the stretching condition of the finger of the hand, so that a user can know the relieving condition of the muscle spasms, and further control the moving stress body to move along the axial direction of the abnormal muscle tension relieving device, so that the acting force between the two half clamp bodies of the functional clamp can be adjusted.
