Description

  The present invention relates to a system and method for leaning the lower body by electrical stimulation.

  Conventionally, several slimming devices by electrical stimulation have been developed (for example, Patent Document 1), but mainly intended for the abdominal muscles and upper body, and there is no device for making the lower body specially lean. In addition, the electrical stimulation time needs to be processed for a long time, such as shifting the wavelength.

  Many people have a desire to make only the desired part of the lower body thin in a short period of time, but until now there has been no effective method for lower body dieting. Therefore, there has been a demand for a diet apparatus and method that efficiently thins only the necessary part of the lower body. In addition, there is a need for a system that has an efficient slimming effect in a short time.

(5) A method for operating a medium frequency device, wherein electrical stimulation is transmitted at a frequency of 5000 Hz and a medium frequency for 50 seconds to 80 seconds to a pad to be contacted and fixed to the stretched muscle.

  According to the present invention, a diet effect of the lower body can be obtained by short-time processing.

FIG. 1 shows a diet system. Example 1

The present invention is a system that contracts and efficiently leans muscles by applying (applying) electrical stimulation with the muscles of any part of the lower body stretched. According to this system, the slimming effect can be obtained efficiently in a very short time compared to the conventional electrical stimulation method.
For this purpose, the present invention comprises means for fixing the muscles of the site to be thinned in an expanded state, means for fixing the torso, legs, and feet, electrodes for electrical stimulation, and a device for applying electrical stimulation.

  In principle, the muscle of the lower part of the body to be thinned is fixed in a stretched state, and the muscle is contracted by applying electrical stimulation to the muscle. It is thought that only the part can be made thin by decreasing and changing to a muscle. By fixing the other portions with a belt or the like so as not to move excessively, blood flow can be efficiently concentrated on the portion where electrical stimulation is performed.

  For example, when leaning the thigh, it may be fixed and applied with electrical stimulation with the muscles of the thigh stretched. In this case, one leg of the subject who lies on his / her back on the treatment table is stretched upward and pulled toward the head until the thigh muscles become tense, and the thigh muscles are stretched and fixed by the fixing means. Then, the electrode pad is brought into contact with the thigh to apply electrical stimulation, and the muscle is contracted.

If you want to make your hips lean, you can fix them by crossing the legs so that the muscles of the hips stretch, and apply electrical stimulation to the hips.
In this way, any lower body part can be thinned.

  A medium frequency electrical stimulation device is preferably used as the means for applying electrical stimulation, but is not particularly limited as long as it can output electrical stimulation capable of appropriately contracting muscles. In short, it is only necessary that the stretched muscle can contract. This electrical stimulation device is also called an electric muscle stimulator (EMS), which outputs a stimulation signal having a frequency and waveform stored in the main body, and outputs the stimulation signal from the main body through an electrode pad that contacts the body. Outputs and stimulates muscles to give a slimming effect.

The electrode pad receives a signal from the main body in a wired or wireless manner. The electrode pad is preferably a circle having a diameter of 4 cm to 10 cm, an ellipse, or a rectangle having a side of 4 cm to 10 cm, but is not limited thereto.
For example, Profit Gym 5000 (Royal Mail Order) or the like is preferably used as the low-frequency to medium-frequency electrical stimulation device, but is not limited thereto.

  As the frequency, 1000 to 5000 hertz (Hz) is preferably used, but a low frequency can also be used in combination. For example, five types of frequencies including three types of composite waves of 50 Hz + 1000 Hz, 50 Hz + 2000 Hz, 50 Hz + 5000 Hz and two types of low frequencies of 200 Hz and 400 Hz may be generated irregularly.

The time for electrical stimulation is preferably 30 seconds to 5 minutes per site, more preferably 50 seconds to 70 seconds, and most preferably 60 seconds.
The site to be stimulated is not particularly limited as long as muscle exists and can be elongated. Thigh (front, back, inside, outside) Applicable to all parts such as legs such as calves, buttocks and legs. Moreover, it is applicable not only to the lower body but also to the upper body.

It is possible to make several parts simultaneously thin by electrical stimulation of the thighs (including the thighs, the front, the back of the thighs, and the outside), the buttocks, and the calves in sequence. It is.
Thereby, an arbitrary part can be made thin efficiently.

  As shown in FIG. 1, first, the test subject 1 lays on his back on the treatment table 2, and the torso is fixed on the table with the fixing band 3. The non-electrically stimulated leg was similarly fixed with a fixing band. Further, the foot not to be electrically stimulated was fixed to the toe side with a fixing member 4. Next, the muscle of the part to be thinned was pulled and fixed in a stretched state. At this time, the belt 8 was wound around the ankle portion of the leg to be fixed for this purpose, and tension was applied with the rope 9 to fix the stretched muscles (thighs, calves, buttocks, etc.). At this time, the strength of the tension was adjusted by changing the angle of the rope by moving the position of the weight 11 up and down. The electrode pad 6 is applied to the portion to be thinned, and electrical stimulation is applied by the EMS 7. The electrode pad 6 was fixed to the portion to which electrical stimulation was applied by the band 5.

  Electrical stimulation was performed using Profit Gym 5000 at 5000 Hz for one site for about 60 seconds. If necessary, a plurality of parts can be made thin simultaneously by applying electricity to various parts. Examples of the part include, but are not limited to, the calf, the front side, the inner side, the back side, and the buttocks of the thigh. It can be thinned by applying the electrical stimulation of the present invention as long as it is fat on the lower body.

  When the back side of the thigh, the inner thigh, the buttocks, and the calf were processed at a frequency of 5000 Hz and a processing time of 60 seconds, a 50 kg subject lost weight to 45 kg in 3 months. The size of the pants can now be worn by two sizes smaller. This is thought to mean that the weight of the lower body was not lost, but that the lower body was leaning efficiently.

  Using the device of the present invention, once every week, when 5000 kg of electrical stimulation was applied to the lower body (inner thigh, back of thigh, buttocks, calf) for about 1 minute in each part, significant weight loss was observed as shown in Table 1. It was seen. Table 1 shows the change over time in body weight (kg) when treated with the apparatus of the present invention. A, B, C, D, and E represent individuals, and the weight change for each week was recorded. As a result, as shown in Table 1, Mr. A had a weight of 75 kg at first, but at the 18th week, 60.9 kg, Mr. B from the first 67.2 kg to 58.3 kg at the 12th week, From 72.9 kg to 64.2 kg in the 12th week, Mr. D from the first 68.4 kg to the 11th week, 59.1 kg, and Mr. E from 59.5 kg to the 9th week, 51.6 kg.

  Table 2 shows the change in body fat percentage of the same subjects as in Table 1 in%. It can be seen that the A to E subjects have 3.7% to 7.7% decrease in body fat percentage, and there is a remarkable effect.

Table 3 shows the change over time in the percentage of subcutaneous fat in both legs of the same subjects as Tables 1 and 2 in%. It can be seen that the subcutaneous fat in both legs is decreased from 4.7% to 10.2%.

  The present invention can be used in the beauty industry and the diet industry.
