Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric stimulation device which is easy to carry and which can be charged with a battery without an external power source.

Description

[0001] ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICE [0002]

The present invention relates to an electric stimulation apparatus.

Electrical stimulation therapy induces functional movement by applying electrical stimulation to the paralyzed body and is widely used in rehabilitation therapy. For example, in order to restore sensory motor nerve function to patients with upper and lower paralysis caused by central nervous system diseases and injuries, a nerve stimulation therapy apparatus that supports and enhances the daily living movement function and improves the movement and walking ability is widely used And technology development of related products is actively being carried out.

The electrical stimulation therapy device is required to be used in a way that the patient can use the device without any time and place, and can easily carry the device because the frequency of use is determined according to the condition of the patient and the reaction by the electric stimulation occurs in a short time.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electric stimulation device which is easy to carry and which can be charged without an external power source.

Embodiments according to the present invention can be used to accomplish other tasks not specifically mentioned other than the above-described tasks.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic device including a main body attached to a first area of a user's body to sense a movement state of the user, An electric stimulation device including an electrode portion for providing stimulation.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the portability of the electric stimulation apparatus can be improved.

1 shows a configuration of an electric stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 shows a state in which the electric stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is worn by a user.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The present invention may be embodied in many different forms and is therefore not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and the same reference numerals are used for the same or similar components throughout the specification. In the case of publicly known technologies, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this specification, when a part is referred to as "including " an element, it is to be understood that it may include other elements as well, without departing from the other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

The terms " part, "" module," and the like, as used herein, refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented in hardware or software or a combination of hardware and software.

1 shows a configuration of an electric stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 includes a main body 110 attached to a first area of a user's body and an electrode part 120 attached to a second area of the user's body and connected to the main body 110 by wire, .

The main body 110 senses the motion of the user and transmits a voltage corresponding to the sensed result to the electrode unit 120, and is implemented in a form wearable by the user. For example, it may be embodied in a form embedded in a shoe.

The main body 110 includes a sensor unit 111, a magnetic pole control unit 112, a battery unit 113, and a charge control unit 114.

The sensor unit 111 includes at least one of a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and an acceleration sensor. Specifically, at least one of the momentum, temperature, angular velocity, or acceleration corresponding to the first region is sensed.

The stimulation control unit 112 transmits a preset voltage to the electrode unit 120 when it is determined that the user is in a stopped state based on the detection result of the sensor unit 111. [ In addition, the stimulation control unit 112 may cut off the voltage to be transmitted to the electrode unit 120 when it is determined that the user is in a motion state.

The stimulation control unit 112 may provide a voltage of intensity corresponding to the sensed result of the sensor unit 111 based on the previously stored exercise state-voltage table.

The battery unit 113 supplies power to each configuration of the electric stimulation apparatus 100 and charges through an external source.

The charging controller 114 converts the kinetic energy (e.g., positional change) of the user into electric energy through the sensor unit 111 to charge the battery unit 113. [

The electrode portion 120 is in the form of a patch or pad that extends from the body 110 through a wire to provide electrical stimulation in contact with the user's skin. For example, the electrode unit 120 can be attached to the thigh, calf, knee, or ankle.

2 shows a state in which the electric stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is worn by a user.

As shown in FIG. 2, the body 110 is implemented in the insole of a shoe worn by the user, and provides an electric stimulus through the electrode unit 120 attached to the user's calf according to the result of sensing the motion state of the user can do.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, by using the kinetic energy of the user, the battery is charged and the electric power of the electric stimulation device is supplied, so that the energy use efficiency can be improved and the electric stimulation device can be miniaturized.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It belongs to the scope.
