Abstract

The human skin surface measuring electrode (1) has a plastic sleeve (3) for limiting electrode penetration depth into the skin. The measuring electrode is for reproducible human skin surface measurements mainly at acupuncture points with or without current application. The plastic sleeve can be rotated on a fine thread (2) on the electrode to limit the electrode penetration depth. Preferred Features: For acupuncture measurements using impressed current, the electrode consists of gold plated brass. For sensing body currents at acupuncture points, high purity silver (99.97% Ag) coupled to another metal and Ag/AgCl are combined to form a measuring electrode.

Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die traditionelle, ca. 3000jährige, chinesische Akupunktur (TCM), hat auch vor vielen Jahrzehnten in der westlichen Medizin Fuß gefaßt. Sie basiert darauf, daß sogenannte Meridiane, verbunden mit den 12 Organen des Menschen, ein energetisches Korrelat bilden. Man kann diese Punkte, und damit das zugehörige Organ, über Nadeleinstiche in seiner Funktion stimulieren.The traditional, about 3000 year old, Chinese acupuncture (TCM) also has gained a foothold in Western medicine many decades ago. It is based on the fact that so-called meridians, connected to the 12 organs of the People, form an energetic correlate. You can see these points, and thus the associated organ, via needle punctures in its function stimulate.

Prof. Heine et al. von der Universität Witten-Herdecke, konnte durch histologische Schnitte am menschlichen Körpergewebe das Vorhandensein solcher Meridiane und Akupunkturpunkte nachweisen [III].Prof. Heine et al. from the University of Witten-Herdecke, was able to histological sections on the presence of human body tissue demonstrate such meridians and acupuncture points [III].

Dr. Reinhold Voll [I] machte in den 50iger Jahren eine revolutionäre Entdeckung. Er konnte mittels eines Widerstandsmeßgerätes über die Akupunkturpunkte den Meridianwiderstand messen und somit über die Größe des Widerstandes eine diagnostische Aussage über die korrelierenden Organe treffen. Das Zeitalter der Elektroakupunktur (EAP) hatte begonnen [Fig. 1].Dr. Reinhold Voll [I] made a revolutionary discovery in the 1950s. Using a resistance measuring device, he was able to measure the meridian resistance via the acupuncture points and thus made a diagnostic statement about the correlating organs via the size of the resistance. The age of electro acupuncture (EAP) had begun [ Fig. 1].

In Fig. 1 ist das Prinzip der Hautwiderstandsmessung schematisch dargestellt, wobei 4 das Widerstandsmeßgerät darstellt, 1 der zu messende Patient, 3 die Hand- und damit die negative Gegenelektrode. Position 2 zeigt den Meßgriffel zur Messung der Akupunkturpunkte und 5 die Meßelektrode selbst.The principle of skin resistance measurement is shown schematically in FIG. 1, 4 representing the resistance measuring device, 1 the patient to be measured, 3 the hand electrode and thus the negative counter electrode. Position 2 shows the stylus for measuring the acupuncture points and 5 the measuring electrode itself.

Problematik der Meßtechnik und Stand der TechnikProblems of measurement technology and the state of the art

Die Reproduzierbarkeit der Meßwerte bereitet dem ungeübten Anwender enorme Schwierigkeiten. Einflußfaktoren wie a) genaue Lage des Akupunkturpunktes, b) Beschaffenheit der Haut bezüglich Trockenheit und vor allem Feuchtigkeit, c) Meßdruck der Elektrode, d) Beschleunigung des Meßvorganges und zuletzt e) die Dichte der Haut bzw. des Bindegewebes in dem sich der zu messende Akupunkturpunkt befindet. Über die genannten Einflußfaktoren läßt sich der zu messende Meridianwiderstand fast beliebig zu jedem Widerstandsmeßwert hin verändern.The inexperienced user is prepared for the reproducibility of the measured values enormous difficulties. Influencing factors such as a) the exact location of the Acupuncture point, b) condition of the skin regarding dryness and especially moisture, c) measuring pressure of the electrode, d) acceleration of the Measurement process and lastly e) the density of the skin or connective tissue in where the acupuncture point to be measured is located. About the above The meridian resistance to be measured can be influenced almost arbitrarily change to every resistance reading.

Eine weitere Problematik in der bisher praktizierten Meßtechnik ist der Polarisationseffekt des Elektrodenmaterials (Messing) und der Übergang zur menschlichen Haut. Beim direkten Kontakt der Haut mit einer Metallelektrode verhält sich die organische Substanz wie ein Elektrolyt. An der Grenzfläche Metall - Elektrolyt erfolgt der Übergang von der Ionenleitung (im Gewebe) zur Elektronenleitung (im Metall). Ohne Stromdurchgang nimmt die Elektrode entweder positive Ionen aus dem Elektrolyten aufs oder sie gibt positive Ionen an diese ab. Dadurch entsteht ein sogenanntes Elektrodenpotential. Seine Größe und Polarität wird durch die elektrochemische Spannungsreihe bestimmt. Man unterscheidet zwischen polarisierbaren und nichtpolarisierbaren Elektroden. Bei vollkommen polarisierbaren Elektroden wird während des Stromtransports keine Ladung über die Grenzfläche Metall - Elektrolyt bewegt. Der Strom an der Grenzfläche ist ausschließlich ein Verschiebungsstrom. Der Übergang verhält sich wie ein Kondensator. Durch den Verschiebungsstrom wird die Ionenverteilung im Elektrolyten und damit die Gleichgewichts- Potentialdifferenz zwischen Metall und Elektrolyt um einen Betrag verändert, der als Polarisationsspannung bezeichnet wird (Beispiele: Edelmetalle).Another problem in the measuring technology practiced so far is Polarization effect of the electrode material (brass) and the transition to  human skin. When the skin comes into direct contact with one Metal electrode, the organic substance behaves like an electrolyte. On The transition from the metal to electrolyte interface takes place Ion conduction (in tissue) to electron conduction (in metal). Without Current passage either takes positive ions out of the electrode Electrolytes on or it releases positive ions to them. This creates a so-called electrode potential. Its size and polarity will determined by the electrochemical series. One differentiates between polarizable and non-polarizable electrodes. At fully polarizable electrodes is used during the Electricity transport no charge across the metal-electrolyte interface emotional. The current at the interface is exclusive a displacement current. The transition behaves like a capacitor. Due to the displacement current, the ion distribution in the electrolyte and thus the equilibrium potential difference between metal and Electrolyte changed by an amount called the polarization voltage is referred to (examples: precious metals).

Fig. 2a zeigt den zeitlichen Verlauf des Spannungsabfalls UR (1) bei Anlegen eines Spannungsimpulses Uo (2) über einen Schalter (3) zwischen zwei polarisierbaren Elektroden (4), die in einen Elektrolyten (5) eintauchen. Fig. 2a shows the time course of the voltage drop UR ( 1 ) when a voltage pulse Uo ( 2 ) is applied via a switch ( 3 ) between two polarizable electrodes ( 4 ) which are immersed in an electrolyte ( 5 ).

In Fig. 2b wird dargestellt, daß der Widerstand von polarisierbaren Elektroden stark von der Frequenz abhängig ist. Bei nichtpolarisierbaren Elektroden hingegen bleibt der Widerstand konstant [II].In Fig. 2b it is shown that the resistance of polarizable electrodes is strongly dependent on the frequency. With non-polarizable electrodes, however, the resistance remains constant [II].

Beschreibungdescription

Für die mit Stromeinprägung, d. h. für die Widerstandsmessung benutzte Elektrode ist die Anordnung erfindungsgemäß in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Die Meßwertmanipulierbarkeit hängt im größten Maße von der unterschiedlichen Tiefe, mit der die Meßelektrode in den zu messenden Akupunkturpunkt hinein bewegt wird, ab. Je tiefer die Meßelektrode in den EAP-Punkt geführt wird, umso kleiner der Ohm'sche Widerstand, und umgekehrt. Die einfachste Art, die Eindringtiefe immer konstant zu halten, ist eine mechanische Begrenzung der Elektrode gegen zu tiefes eindringen.The arrangement according to the invention is shown in FIG. 4 for the electrode used with current injection, ie for the resistance measurement. The manipulability of the measured value depends to a large extent on the different depth with which the measuring electrode is moved into the acupuncture point to be measured. The deeper the measuring electrode is guided into the EAP point, the smaller the ohmic resistance, and vice versa. The simplest way to keep the penetration depth constant is to limit the electrode mechanically against penetration too deep.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Physiologie eines Akupunkturpunktes. Die Meßelektrode (1) befindet sich im Akupunkturpunkt (2) wobei (3) die Hautoberfläche darstellt. Die Elektrode wird in Pfeilrichtung (4) in den Akupunkturpunkt hineinbewegt und kann so tief geführt werden, bis diese auf einen Widerstand trifft, was im Allgemeinen der Knochen ist. Das empfindet der Proband als äußerst schmerzhaft. Fig. 3 shows the physiology of an acupuncture point. The measuring electrode ( 1 ) is in the acupuncture point ( 2 ) where ( 3 ) represents the skin surface. The electrode is moved in the direction of the arrow ( 4 ) into the acupuncture point and can be guided deep until it encounters resistance, which is generally the bone. The subject feels that this is extremely painful.

In Fig. 4 ist das Problem erfindungsgemäß dahingehend gelöst, daß die Meßelektrode (1) mit einem Feingewinde (2) versehen wird, auf der die Hülse (3) zur Begrenzung der Elektrodeneindringtiefe in Pfeilrichtung (4) bewegt werden kann. Die Hülse (3) mit ihrer Begrenzungsfläche (5) ist wegen der Isolationsfähigkeit zur Meßelektrode (1) aus Kunststoff hergestellt.In Fig. 4 the problem is solved according to the invention in that the measuring electrode ( 1 ) is provided with a fine thread ( 2 ) on which the sleeve ( 3 ) can be moved in the direction of the arrow ( 4 ) to limit the electrode penetration depth. The sleeve ( 3 ) with its boundary surface ( 5 ) is made of plastic because of the insulating ability to the measuring electrode ( 1 ).

Je nach dem, wie weit die Begrenzungshülse herausgeschraubt wird, verringert sich die Eindringtiefe der Meßelektrode (1) in den zu messenden Akupunkturpunkt. Das Außengewinde (6) an der Meßelektrode (1) ermöglicht das Anschrauben auf einen Handgriffel zur bequemen Handhabung.Depending on how far the limiting sleeve is screwed out, the depth of penetration of the measuring electrode ( 1 ) into the acupuncture point to be measured decreases. The external thread ( 6 ) on the measuring electrode ( 1 ) enables it to be screwed onto a handle for easy handling.

Fig. 5 zeigt erfindungsgemäß den Aufbau und die Wahl der Materialien in Bezug auf die nichtpolarisierte Elektrode zur Messung von statischen und dynamischen bioelektrischen Signalen an Akupunkturpunkten. Fig. 5 shows the structure according to the invention and the choice of materials with respect to the non-polarized electrode for measurement of static and dynamic bioelectric signals to acupuncture points.

Der gesamte Aufbau der Elektrode (1) in Fig. 5 ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. Der 1. Teil (2) zeigt einen Zylinder aus 99,97%igem Silber (AG) mit einem Außengewinde (4) zur Aufnahme der gesamten Elektrode (1) in einen Handmeßgriffel. Der 2. Teil der Elektrode (3) stellt den eigentlichen Meßzylinder dar. Dieser Meßzylinder (3) besteht aus einer gesinterten Mischung von Ag und AgCl.The entire structure of the electrode ( 1 ) in Fig. 5 is divided into two parts. The first part ( 2 ) shows a cylinder made of 99.97% silver (AG) with an external thread ( 4 ) for receiving the entire electrode ( 1 ) in a hand-held stylus. The second part of the electrode ( 3 ) represents the actual measuring cylinder. This measuring cylinder ( 3 ) consists of a sintered mixture of Ag and AgCl.

Ein am Teil 1 (2) angebrachter Gewindestift (5) verbindet mechanisch über ein Sackloch mit Innengewinde Teil 1 (2) und Teil 2 (3) fest miteinander. Zur physiologischen Anpassung der Elektrode an den zu messenden Akupunkturpunkt wird am Zylinder (3) ein 1,5 mm Radius (6) angebracht.A threaded pin ( 5 ) attached to part 1 ( 2 ) mechanically connects part 1 ( 2 ) and part 2 ( 3 ) to one another mechanically via a blind hole with an internal thread. For the physiological adaptation of the electrode to the acupuncture point to be measured, a 1.5 mm radius ( 6 ) is attached to the cylinder ( 3 ).

Damit auch bei dieser Elektrodenanordnung eine mechanische Begrenzung (wie in Fig. 4 Teil (3) schon dargestellt) der Meßelektrode in den Akupunkturpunkt möglich ist, wird über den Zylinder (2) ein Feingewinde (7) geschnitten.So that mechanical limitation (as already shown in FIG. 4 part ( 3 )) of the measuring electrode into the acupuncture point is also possible with this electrode arrangement, a fine thread ( 7 ) is cut via the cylinder ( 2 ).
