Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a low frequency therapeutic device that generates one or more electrical stimulation patterns by a program of a controller.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Most conventional low-frequency treatment devices have a pair of an indifferent electrode and an indifferent electrode, and use only this pair of electrodes as the treatment electrode. Since the Seki electrode and the Seki electrode are composed of a pair, the positional relationship between the Seki electrode and the Seki electrode is fixed due to the structure of the main body. Therefore, the current circuit through the skin that is formed when the stimulation current output from the positive electrode returns to the negative electrode is always at a limited position in the living body, and stimulation of the same position is repeated on the skin of the living body. become. This gradually becomes uncomfortable for the living body, and if the stimulation at the same position is continued, the stimulation effect will be lost due to habituation.

The problem that the stimulation is limited to the same position in the living body is that the distance between the guide conductor and the non-conductor in the living body can be freely set, and the guide wire is connected to the controller by the lead wire. Even a low-frequency treatment device of the type in which an indifferent element is connected has not been solved. This is because the positional relationship will be fixed once the conductor and indifferent conductor are attached to the living body. The same applies to the system having a large number of electrodes and five pairs of gates and gates, since the positional relationship is fixed. Therefore, as a means for solving such a problem, conventionally, the width, period, and height of the output voltage pulse from the conductor are changed, and the three patterns of hitting, humming, and rubbing with a small number are used. We examined a method of changing the type of stimulation automatically by adding fast / slow, strong / weak to a large number of 7 to 8 patterns.

However, even if the pulse width, the pulse period, the pulse height of each pattern is changed and the stimulation pattern (faster / slower, stronger / weaker such as tapping, humping, or piercing) is changed, Has a resistance effect to a stimulus at the same position in the living body in the nerve action, and as a result, no matter how the type of stimulus is changed, it becomes physiologically difficult to discriminate against the type and strength of the stimulus. Are known. Therefore, even if the stimulus pattern is changed, for example, even if a weak stimulus is given immediately after a strong stimulus, humans cannot feel it as a sensory stimulus. As described above, in the electrode configuration in which the positional relationship between the conductor and the indifferent conductor is fixed as in the conventional low-frequency therapeutic device, it is clearly stated as efficacy and effect as a result of causing resistance to nerve action. Regarding the therapeutic effect on the nervous system such as neuralgia and peripheral nerve paralysis, the effect diminishes with the passage of time of use.

Further, in addition to the resistance to the nerve action described above, there is a problem that the electric charge accumulated in the living body is generated by the electric current output from the low frequency treatment device in the human living body tissue. In other words, as long as the positional relationship between the inductor and the non-inductor of the low-frequency treatment device is fixed, the route through which the current flows is also fixed, and the bioaccumulated charge is repeatedly generated at the same position. As a result, the output voltage waveform from the inductor is greatly distorted, making it difficult for the stimulus current to flow through the living body, and the stimulus to be sensed is extremely small. Due to the effect of charge accumulation in the body due to continuous stimulation to the same position in the living body, the effect is also attenuated in the effect of fatigue recovery and blood circulation promotion by the massage effect. In addition to the above problems due to tolerance of nerve action and problems due to bioelectric charge accumulation, continuing electric stimulation at the same position in the living body itself becomes a factor that makes people uncomfortable.

In order to solve this problem, the applicant of the present application provides three or more electrodes in a low frequency therapeutic device according to Japanese Patent Application No. 7-199525, and (1) sets the electrodes as an indifferent electrode or an indifferent electrode. (2) It is possible to freely set the electrodes to the related electrodes or the indifferent electrodes, and to prevent the related electrodes or the indifferent electrodes from being arranged in a fixed pair structure ( 3) It is possible to freely set those electrodes to the related electrodes or the indifferent electrodes, and to freely set the combined structure of the related electrodes or the indifferent electrodes. (4) That each electrode operates independently. A characteristic low frequency treatment device was proposed.

In addition, the applicant of the present application discloses, in Japanese Patent Application No. 7-321728, an analog type by scanning an electrode by a controller program in a low frequency treatment device or freely setting individual electrodes and indifferent electrodes. We proposed a low-frequency therapeutic device characterized by being able to perform a massage operation such as soft touch stimulation, rubbing and rubbing, and a more human and smooth massage effect in this operation. Furthermore, we proposed a low-frequency treatment device that features that the stimulation position change can be executed with the low-frequency treatment device attached by scanning the electrode energization timing by the program of the controller. With this low frequency therapy device, one or more stimulation patterns can be sequentially generated by the program of the controller.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional low frequency treatment device has the following problems. When a person rubs another person's shoulder, for example, the right shoulder, the right hand is placed on the right shoulder and the finger closest to the nape of the neck becomes the thumb. Then, it is a general and ergonomic operation procedure that the thumb is first moved to rub and rub or rub the arm from the neck to the arm. For example, when a low-frequency treatment device having five electrodes is attached to the right shoulder, the five hands are moved according to the operation procedure of the five fingers when the human right hand taps, rubs or rubs the right shoulder. By stimulating the electrodes so as to reproduce the movement of the finger, a sensation similar to that of being massaged by the human right hand can be obtained. When attached to the left shoulder, if a stimulus is generated from the electrodes so that it is symmetrical with respect to the center line of the body compared to when attached to the right shoulder, a massage feeling similar to that of the left hand is obtained. You can Therefore, in order to obtain a sensation similar to that of a human's right and left hand massage, two types of conventional low frequency therapeutic devices, one for the right shoulder and one for the left shoulder, were required.

[0009] Further, human beings have a stimulus pattern of their preference, such as a slap stimulus among various stimuli, or a muffled stimulus, and there are individual differences regarding this. Furthermore, for example, among the same tapping stimuli, it is possible that the person prefers the tapping stimulus faster than the tapping slowly. Also, depending on the treatment area, different stimulation patterns may be preferred. In addition, some users may want to enjoy different stimulation patterns with each use. In the conventional low-frequency therapy device, by operating the operation button of the controller, it is possible to change the stimulation intensity of the stimulation pattern, or to move to the next level stimulation pattern if it is not the favorite stimulation pattern. there were. However, the combination of stimulus patterns was limited to one type, and from this, the only choice was to omit stimuli that did not suit your taste.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in the prior art. The present invention relates to the center line of the body regardless of whether it is attached to the right half body or the left half body with one type of low frequency treatment device. It is a first object to provide a low-frequency therapeutic device that is symmetrical and has a feeling close to that of a massage by hand.

[0018]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 The low frequency treatment device of the present invention has a base sheet body having three or more electrodes, and a controller connected to an extended end of the base sheet body to control a stimulation current to the electrodes. The arrangement of the electrodes on the base sheet body has a center line, and the electrodes are arranged symmetrically with respect to this center line. The shape of the base sheet body does not necessarily have to be bilaterally symmetrical, but may be bilaterally symmetrical. The shape is bilaterally symmetric means that the shape has a center line and is bilaterally symmetric with respect to the center line. It is desirable that the electrical stimulation pattern be close to that of a hand massage, and measures have been taken to produce a pattern similar to that of a hand massage. Therefore, for example, even if the stimulation patterns are the same, they can be roughly classified into those that cause the feeling of being swollen by the right hand and those that cause the feeling of being swollen by the left hand. Similarly, even if they are the same, they can be roughly divided into those that produce the feeling of rubbing with the right hand and those that produce the feeling of rubbing with the left hand.

Therefore, the controller for the right half of the body has a right-hand sensation, the right-hand sensation, etc. arranged therein, and the left-hand stimulus pattern subroutine program for the left-hand sensation, the left-hand sensation, etc. arranged. A stimulation pattern subroutine program may be provided so that any one of the stimulation pattern subroutine programs can be selected. In addition, the low-frequency treatment device is equipped with a base sheet for the right half of the body and a base sheet for the left half of the body so that it can be attached to the right shoulder and the left shoulder, for example. If you generate them in synchronization, you can get the feeling as if they were massaged with both hands. The stimulation pattern may be generated with a time delay on one side, and the stimulation may be alternately applied. This time delay can be changed irregularly, periodically, or reversed. It is also possible to have only one stimulation pattern program and alternately generate the right half body stimulation pattern and the left half body stimulation pattern. In this case, the electrodes are arranged symmetrically, so if, for example, they are attached to the right shoulder, then removed and attached to the left shoulder, they do not feel that stimulation is asymmetric between the right shoulder and the left shoulder. Can be obtained.

FIG. 1 is a front view of a low frequency treatment device according to this embodiment. Conductive adhesive pads 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a are attached on the non-woven fabric so as to cover the electrodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 attached to the base sheet body 1. The conductive adhesive pad can directly transfer the electric stimulus emitted from the electrode to the skin and also make the low frequency treatment device adhere to the skin. The base sheet main body 1 has a shape almost similar to the shape of a human hand, and for example, a cut portion is appropriately provided, so that the shape of the base sheet main body 1 easily fits into the concave and convex portions of the body. Five conductive adhesive pads are arranged on the base sheet body 1 at positions corresponding to the finger positions. The controller 8 is attached to the lower portion of the surface of the main body 1 of the base sheet on the side opposite to the center through a fixture 12. The controller 8 is connected to the extended end portion 7 of the base sheet body. A mounting hole 11 is formed at a position near the extended end of the base sheet body. A side view of the state where the controller 8 is attached to the base sheet main body is shown in FIG. 2, and a partially enlarged view is shown in FIG. The controller includes operation buttons 9 and 10.

By combining the operation of the two operation buttons, it is possible to start and end the operation, stimulate the level and the stimulation level weak, and select and change the stimulation pattern subroutine program. In use, the controller is attached to the main body of the base sheet, and the main body of the base sheet is used, for example, attached to the shoulder. In this case, the operation buttons are out of the field of view, and it is necessary to distinguish the operation buttons that should be operated as if they were fingertips. Therefore, the operation buttons are different in size, height of protrusion from the controller, and height of withdrawal. If the operation button insertion hole is counterbored and a protrusion is provided around it, the shape and size of this protrusion will differ depending on the operation button, making it easier to distinguish between the operation buttons.

The base sheet body 1 has a shape similar to that of a human hand. Since the massage is usually performed by human hands, the base sheet that is attached to the body and emits electrical stimulation has the shape of a human hand, and is a mode similar to human hand movement such as rubbing or rubbing a stimulation pattern. Then, it is possible to obtain a feeling of use as if it were massaged by human hands. The base sheet body may have a shape close to the sole of the foot and may be attached mainly to the sole of the foot. By arranging the electrodes on the body of the base sheet symmetrically to the left and right, one base sheet body can be used for both the left and right halves.

As shown in FIG. 4, the controller includes a boosting pulse circuit, a control unit (CPU) for controlling the boosting pulse circuit, a power supply (battery), and an output circuit controlled by the control unit. The output circuit is connected to the electrode via the base sheet extension end 7. An electric stimulation pattern is generated from the electrodes by the program of the control unit, and it is slowly tapped, muffled (moves gently from the nape of the neck toward the shoulder), quick tap, muffs (even with acupressure), and repeated strokes. Such a massage sensation is generated, and the massage is sequentially generated at certain time intervals (for example, 2 minutes).

Here, the case where the base sheet body is attached to the right shoulder with the stimulus pattern “tapping” will be described as an example. Generally, the stimulus of tapping is generally directed from the nape of the neck to the arm. And many masseurs use this massage pattern. In this case, the tapping stimulus is first generated in the part corresponding to the thumb, and when the stimulus moves to the part corresponding to the index finger and the part corresponding to the middle finger, it seems that the tapping stimulus is moving by the human finger. Can give a sense. In addition, when the stimulation is started from the part corresponding to the thumb, and the index finger part, the middle finger part and the stimulus are sequentially moved, it is possible to give the sensation of being massaged by the human right hand. In general, humans get a comfortable sensation when given a stimulus that changes the action position from the center to the outside.

Next, when the base sheet body is attached to the left shoulder, when the stimulation is caused in line symmetry with respect to the center line of the body as compared with the base sheet body attached to the right shoulder, You can feel as if you are being massaged by your left hand, and you can also feel comfortable. Here, if the electrodes are symmetrically arranged on the base sheet body, one type of base sheet body can be attached to both the left and right shoulders for use. The controller stores both the right-half body subroutine program and the left-half body subroutine program, and selects the right-half body subroutine program when attaching to the right shoulder, and the left-half body subroutine program when attaching to the left shoulder. Can be selected with the operation buttons 9 and 10 of the controller. Alternatively, a slide switch can be attached to the controller and selected by operating the slide switch.

It is also possible to provide the controller with two output terminals and connect the two base sheet main bodies to the controller, respectively, so that the base sheet main body can be attached to the right shoulder and the left shoulder at the same time. It is also possible for the controller to simultaneously generate a right-body stimulus pattern and a left-body stimulus pattern on the electrodes of each base sheet body. In this case, you can get the feeling that both hands are being massaged at the same time. This sensation is extremely comfortable, as if a human being massaged with both hands because it is symmetrical with respect to the centerline of the body.

In the controller, for example, a stimulation pattern subroutine program in which a large number of hit stimulation patterns are arranged among the stimulation patterns such as tapping, scooping, and rubbing, a stimulation pattern subroutine program in which a large number of stimulation patterns are arranged, The controller stores a plurality of subroutine programs such as a stimulation pattern subroutine program in which the activation time of the stab pattern is longer than the activation time of other stimulation patterns. Stimulation pattern Subroutine programs can be selected.

The stimulation pattern program is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM IC, an IC card, a cassette tape, and various discs, and the recording medium is inserted into the controller and the operation button is pressed to activate the low frequency treatment device to generate the stimulation pattern. Can occur. In this case, the contents of the stimulation pattern program can be changed by exchanging this recording medium. It is possible to prepare various recording media in which the stimulation pattern programs in which the stimulation patterns are arranged are recorded, and the user can select a recording medium having a desired stimulation pattern and insert it into the controller for use.

To the controller, for example, a basic stimulus pattern such as tapping, fluffing, or rubbing, a stimulating pattern in which the stimulus cycle is changed such as tapping quickly, tapping slowly, or a position that is felt as a stimulus is moved to be loosened gently. A stimulation pattern subroutine program is recorded with stimulation patterns of different qualities such as swelling and shiatsu feeling, stimulating patterns in which the stimulus level changes periodically, and stimulating patterns with different operating times. The user can select multiple stimulation pattern subroutine programs and run them in any order. This allows the user of the low-frequency therapy device to select a stimulation pattern that suits them from among multiple stimulation patterns in the order that suits them, and select the stimulation pattern that suits them as their own preference. It can be generated in the order in which they exist. Selection is made by operating the operation buttons on the controller.

During the use of the low frequency therapy device, it may be possible to repeat a stimulation pattern that suits the user's preference for each pattern cycle or a part of the pattern cycle. Repeating may be performed not only for the stimulation pattern in operation but also for the stimulation pattern that has already ended. Even if the stimulation pattern is repeated, the operation should be stopped after the elapse of a predetermined time. It may also be possible to cancel the repetition. Repeated and released operations are performed using the operation buttons on the controller. By repeating a part of the stimulation pattern, for example, in the case of stimulation in which the stimulation position moves from the position corresponding to the thumb to the index finger and the middle finger, the stimulation position can be fixed at the position corresponding to a certain finger. It is possible to intensively stimulate the treatment area to be stimulated. Alternatively, the stimulating action is stimulated by the thumb, then moved to the forefinger and stimulated by the forefinger, which can be fixed by repeating this. While using the low-frequency therapy device, the activation time of the stimulation pattern that suits the user's taste may be extended or the activation time of the stimulation pattern that does not suit the taste may be shortened. Use the operation buttons on the controller to extend or shorten the operating time.

The right half body stimulation pattern can be generated simultaneously with the right half side electrode of the base sheet body and the left half body stimulation pattern with the left half side electrode of the base sheet body at the same time. This corresponds to the case where the right-side body base sheet body and the left-side body base sheet body are integrated into one base sheet body. Here, the right-half side electrode and the left-half side electrode are as viewed from the surface opposite to the electrode of the base sheet body. Explaining the examples, the shape of the base sheet main body 101 for treating the lumbar region and the shape and arrangement of the electrodes 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107 can be as shown in FIG. In other words, the shape of the base sheet main body 101 is such that two circular circles or ellipses of the same size and the same shape are arranged apart by a certain distance, and the outline of the circle or ellipse is a smooth curve to form one shape. The shape is connected by a part of. This shape is symmetrical about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal center axis. The electrodes are also arranged symmetrically with respect to this axis, and four half-monthly shaped electrodes 102, 103, 105, 106 are arranged at both longitudinal ends, and two elliptical electrodes 104, 107 are arranged inside thereof. ing. The stimulation pattern generated on the electrodes 102, 103, 104 and the stimulation pattern generated on the electrodes 105, 106, 107 are symmetrical to each other.

The controller 109 is attached to the surface of the base sheet main body 101 opposite to the electrode side for use. In this case, since the controller 109 is out of the field of view, the operation buttons 110 and 111 must be operated by distinguishing them with fingertips. The operation buttons 110 and 111 are changed in size so that they can be easily distinguished by fingertips, and the amounts of protrusion or retraction of the button head from the controller surface are different. Further, the base sheet extension end portion 108 is lengthened so that the controller 109 can be seen when the controller 109 is removed from the base sheet main body 101, and the operation of the operation buttons 110 and 111 can be performed visually. You can also do so.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 1 of the present invention, by using one base sheet main body in which electrodes are symmetrically arranged, it is attached to the right and left half of the body, for example, to the right shoulder. Then, when it is attached to the left shoulder and then used, if the attachment positions are different from those of the left and right shoulders, it is possible to give a usage sensation that is not largely conscious of the asymmetric stimulation. Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 2, since the bilaterally symmetrical stimulation patterns are generated respectively, by using one base sheet main body, the right half body and the left half body, for example, the right half body, When applied to the shoulder and then applied to the left shoulder, a symmetrical and comfortable stimulating sensation can be obtained. In addition, since it is possible to obtain a sense of left-right symmetry using a single base sheet body, it is possible to reduce costs.

Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of the third aspect, since the stimulation patterns which are bilaterally symmetric with each other are simultaneously generated, the right body half and the left body half are formed by using two base sheet main bodies. In addition, for example, when it is used by sticking it on the right shoulder and the left shoulder, it is possible to obtain a very comfortable feeling as if a human being was massaged with both hands. Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 4, in the low frequency treatment device of claim 1 or claim 3, the shape of the base sheet main body is approximated to the shape of a human hand. You can get a comfortable feeling closer to the massage by human hands. In particular, if the number of electrodes is set to 5 to 6 and the electrodes are arranged so as to correspond to the fingers on the main body of the base sheet, it is possible to obtain a feeling closer to that of a human hand. Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 5, in the low frequency treatment device of claim 1, the right half electrode and the left half electrode of one base sheet body are simultaneously provided with symmetrical stimulation patterns. Since they are generated in synchronization, it is possible to obtain an extremely comfortable feeling as if human beings were receiving massage with both hands.

According to the low frequency treatment device of the sixth aspect, an arbitrary subroutine program can be selected and run from a plurality of stimulation pattern subroutine programs incorporated in the controller. Therefore, the user of the low-frequency therapy device can select a subroutine program that includes more stimulation patterns that suits his or her preference, and the user can obtain more comfortable feeling according to his or her taste. If each of a plurality of stimulation pattern subroutine programs has, for example, one stimulation pattern, the user must select a plurality of stimulation patterns that suits his or her preference from a plurality of stimulation patterns in the order in which he likes. You can Therefore, a series of stimulus patterns that suits one another can be combined and sequentially generated. Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 7, an arbitrary stimulation pattern program recording medium having more stimulation patterns to suit one's taste is arbitrarily selected. The stimulation pattern program recording medium can be selected and set in the controller to run the stimulation pattern program. Therefore, the user of the low frequency therapy device can generate more stimulation patterns to his / her taste, and the user can obtain a more comfortable feeling to his / her taste.

Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of the eighth aspect, since the stimulation pattern can be repeated for each pattern cycle, the user repeatedly generates a stimulation pattern that suits his / her preference. Therefore, the user can continue to obtain a more comfortable and comfortable feeling to his or her taste.

Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of the ninth or tenth aspect, since a part of the pattern cycle of the stimulation pattern can be repeated, the user can choose his / her preference among the cycles of the stimulation pattern. It is possible to repeatedly generate the part that suits you. As a result, for example, in the case of a stimulus in which the stimulus position sequentially moves, the stimulus position and the position of the stimulating finger can be fixed, or, for example, by alternate stimulating motions of two fingers, and the treatment desired to be given. Can be stimulated intensively in a place. Further, according to the low frequency treatment device of claim 11, since the stimulation time of the stimulation pattern can be extended or shortened, the user can extend or shorten the stimulation time of the stimulation pattern that suits his or her preference. Since it is possible to shorten the stimulation time of a stimulation pattern that does not suit the user, the user can obtain a more comfortable feeling of use that suits their taste.
