Control of electrical stimulation

The low frequency and thermal therapy knit band according to the present invention may be used by connecting electrodes in series so as to supply power to the electrodes when electrical stimulation is applied by connecting a plurality of electrodes. However, when connected in series, not only high power is required, but when any one of the electrodes breaks down or breaks in the middle, an electric stimulus may not be obtained from the electrodes connected behind the same.

Thus, the low frequency and thermal therapy knit band according to the present invention is preferably connected to a plurality of electrodes in parallel or in a series-parallel manner. In this case, in order to connect multiple electrodes, wires of several strands may be twisted or difficult to connect. Therefore, most preferably, it is best to configure the connection in a parallel and parallel manner.

In addition, since the low frequency and thermal therapy knit band according to the present invention is configured to be easily connected or disconnected through the connection terminal as described above, the wearer wearing the low frequency and thermal therapy knit band according to the present invention only needs to his part It is preferable that the electrodes can be separated without skipping or connecting the electrodes of the parts which do not need electric stimulation among the plurality of electrodes so as to apply electric stimulation. This is to obtain electrical stimulation with all of the electrodes arranged by the wearer according to the present invention, or to allow the wearer to select and use the electrical stimulation position arbitrarily.
