電気刺激は、血管周辺乃至血管を構成する筋肉を刺激し
、それを収縮する効果があるとされている。この効果は
、拍動を伴わない静脈に作用した場合、血液の循環を促
す意味で有益であるが、動脈に対しては、心臓の収縮に
よる拍動期に作用した場合、逆に+flX液の流れを阻
害する結果を生じせしめる。Electrical stimulation is said to have the effect of stimulating and contracting the muscles around blood vessels or that make up blood vessels. This effect is beneficial in the sense of promoting blood circulation when it acts on non-pulsating veins, but on the contrary, when it acts on arteries during the pulsating period due to heart contraction, +flX fluid This results in obstruction of flow.
