Definitions

  • the invention relates to an elastic bandage with spaced-apart electrodes for connection to an electrical stimulation device.
  • Such a bandage is described and illustrated in WO document WO 01/02052 A2.
  • various bandages are explained, each carrying on their skin of the wearer side facing electrodes, which consist of knitted wires and make the contact with the skin.
  • the knitting of the wires takes place in such a way that e.g. a knitting pattern is used which gives the lead wires the necessary longitudinal elasticity or a zig-zag stitch is used.
  • the entire area with the electrodes thus has the elasticity normally required by a bandage.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an elastic bandage with the above-described design, by which the effectiveness of the electrical stimulation is substantially increased. According to the invention, this is achieved by the fact that the elastic region of the bandage carrying the electrodes is covered on its outside by a substantially smaller elastic pocket, which contains an elastic cushion as support for the electrodes.
  • the contact pressure of the electrodes against the skin against the contact pressure of a normal elastic bandage is considerably increased, whereby the conductivity of the contact points between the electrodes and the skin is considerably increased.
  • the bandage, with its side carrying the electrodes is to a certain extent pushed away, since the elasticity of the pad is directed only in the direction of the skin of the wearer. gers of the bandage.
  • the outwardly towards the substantially inelastic pocket supporting pillow pushes the stronger against the skin, the firmer the bandage is placed around the body part in question.
  • This increased pressure on the skin has a medically favorable effect, because the resulting due to the electrical stimulation muscle contractions are cushioned by the elastic cushion, so that the electrical stimulation device can fully unfold its effect, especially in the dynamic range of use of the bandage , Of course, this also applies to muscle contractions resulting from normal movements of the wearer of the bandage.
  • the stimulation device To connect the stimulation device to the electrodes, it is convenient to connect the stimulation device to the electrodes via lead wires that are incorporated into the material of the bandage to form a plurality of successive bends. These bends may be shaping due to textile knitting or knitting, but may also be e.g. a zigzag stitch possible.
  • the stimulation device is expediently fixed to the bandage itself, namely detachably, so that it can also be removed at any time.
  • the elastic pad e.g. elastic foam.
  • the elastic cushion is also possible to make the elastic cushion as an inflatable hose, which is then inserted into the pocket of the bandage.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a back bandage
  • Figure 2 shows the same bandage from the outside with a view of the bag;
  • Figure 3 is a section along the line HI-HI of Figure 2;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a knee joint bandage
  • a back bandage 1 which is closed with its two ends 2 and 3 on the stomach, the two ends are connected to each other in the usual way by a hook and loop fastener.
  • the stimulation device 4 which is e.g. is hung with some loop.
  • Lead wires 5, 6, 7 and 8 extend from the stimulation device 4 on the inside of the back bandage 1, which ends in the electrodes 9, 10, 11 and 12 attached to the inside of the back bandage 1.
  • the pocket 13 described in more detail in Figure 2 is attached, which is indicated in the figure 1 by the dashed line.
  • the electrical supply to the electrodes 9 to 12 takes place in such a way that the electrodes 9 and 11 are supplied with one pole and the electrodes 10 and 12 are supplied with the other pole of the electrical pulses emanating from the stimulation device.
  • Figure 2 shows the same back bandage 1, which is shown here in perspective in a position in which the two ends 2 and 3 overlap.
  • the bag 13 On the back of the back bandage 1, the bag 13 is attached, which consists of a material which has a much lower elasticity than the elasticity of the back bandage 1.
  • the bag 13 contains here as an elastic cushion the tube 14, which according to the shape of the bag 13th has trapezoidal shape and thus the bag 13 fills well.
  • the valve 15th attached, over which the hose 14 can be inflated arbitrarily strong resulting in the following effect: Since the bag 13 can not expand because of their extensive inelasticity, the expansion of the tube 14 forces the material located above the bag 13 of the back bandage 1, itself expand in the direction of the back of the wearer and thus depending on the strength of the inflation of the tube 14 with a correspondingly adjusted pressure against the skin of the wearer to press. As a result, the contact resistance of the thus pressed electrodes 9, 10, 11 and 12 (according to FIG. 1) to the wearer's skin is correspondingly reduced, whereby the intensity of the effect of the pulses emanating from the stimulation device can be adjusted accordingly.
  • FIG 3 is a section along the line III-III of Figure 2 is shown, in which the particular design of the tube 14 is shown.
  • the tube 14 is inflated via the valve 15, whereby the material of the bandage 1 pushes away from the pocket 13 and thus presses the electrodes 9 and 10 against the skin of the wearer of the bandage.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment for the use of an electrical stimulation device with an elastic cushion, which is a knee joint bandage 16.
  • the stimulation device 4 In the region of the upper edge of the knee joint bandage 16, the stimulation device 4 is mounted. From this lead the two lead wires 17 and 18 to the electrodes and are guided so that the lead wire 17 leads to the two upper electrodes 19 and 20 and the lead wire 18 is connected to the two lower electrodes 21 and 22. Therefore, in this design, a potential gradient always results in the longitudinal direction of the knee, that is from the electrode 19 to the electrode 21 and from the electrode 20 to the electrode 22.
  • the electrodes 19, 20, 21 and 22 are on the inside as in the embodiment of FIG the knee joint bandage 16 attached.
  • the pocket 23 On the outside of the knee joint bandage in the region of the electrodes 19 to 22, the pocket 23 is attached, which acts in the same way as the In contrast to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2, here the pocket 23 is filled with an elastic foam which exerts the necessary pressure on the skin via the electrodes 19 and 22.
  • FIG. 5 shows a section along the line V-V of FIG. 4, which shows the attachment of the pocket 23 to the material of the bandage 16.
  • the elastic cushion 24 made of foam, which exerts the necessary pressure on the electrodes 19 and 21 mounted on the material of the bandage 16.
  • the electrodes 19 and 21 then press against the skin of the wearer and thereby convey the effect of the electrical stimulation from the stimulation device 4.
  • the elastic material for the elastic pad other elastic materials which are capable of yielding pressure on the respective electrodes can be used, which are suitable in terms of their properties.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un bandage élastique comportant des électrodes espacées les unes des autres, qui sont destinées à être raccordées à un appareil de stimulation électrique. Cette invention est caractérisée en ce que la zone élastique du bandage qui porte les électrodes est recouverte, côté extérieur, d'une poche qui est sensiblement moins élastique que ladite zone élastique et qui renferme un coussinet élastique servant à maintenir les électrodes.
