A nervous system disease or injury in the human body can result in impaired motor function and sensory function, and in some cases, muscle atrophy or avascular necrosis. Loss of sensory or motor function due to nervous system damage is somewhat different depending on the degree of injury, but complete recovery is not possible in case of cutting or damage of central nervous system due to various accidents. Neurological diseases such as stroke Damage also results in partial recovery or long-term dysfunction. Furthermore, loss of motor function and sensory function caused by this causes limitations on the most basic operation for daily living, and muscle necrosis caused by long-term use of muscles and skin necrosis caused by blood circulation disorder.

Several electrical stimulation treatments have been proposed to restore motor function in these paralytic patients. Electrical stimulation therapy prevents the paralyzed muscles from contracting, increases muscle contractility, suppresses muscle fatigue, and promotes blood circulation.

The electric stimulation generating device used in the electric stimulation therapy is a medical device that alleviates the pain of the sensory system by applying a controlled electric stimulus to the human body and induces muscle contraction to help recovery of the paralyzed muscles. All skeletal muscles of the human body have a wide variety of muscle cell composition and ability to regulate by nerve cells depending on their functions. Thus, in the case of neuromuscular diseases, when the muscles are paralyzed, optimal shrinkage is induced in the muscles, and in order to restore the specific exercise function, the optimal physiological characteristics and paralysis based on the physiological characteristics Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > of < / RTI >

However, currently available products use the same stimulus parameters without any consideration of these characteristics. Accordingly, since the same electric stimulation is applied to each muscle region by the subjective judgment of the users, there is a problem that the therapeutic effect on the restoration of the function is remarkably deteriorated.
