本発明は、 高周波電流で筋肉を刺激してエネルギーを消費させる痩身および健 康増進用高周波電流駆動システムおよび痩身および健康増進用高周波電流駆動装 置に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to a high-frequency current drive system for slimming and health promotion and a high-frequency current drive device for slimming and health promotion which stimulates muscles with high-frequency current to consume energy. Background art
現在の社会情勢がこのまま続いた場合に先進国を中心として、 今後、 肥満およ び過体重による生活習慣病の弊害は世界的な問題となることが予想される。 生活 習慣病から起きる高齢者の疾患は、 高齢者の生活の質を低下させるとともに保 .険 制度においても医療費の増大につながる問題を生じさせる。  If the current social situation continues, the adverse effects of lifestyle-related diseases due to obesity and overweight are expected to become a global problem, especially in developed countries. Diseases of the elderly arising from lifestyle-related diseases can reduce the quality of life of the elderly and create problems in the insurance system that can lead to increased health care costs.
従って、 筋肉量を保ち、 太り難い体を作ることが医療現場での急務となる。 こ のことは、 世界的に見ても言える傾向である。 世界経済の拡大によってこれまで、 全世界の人口における割合で略 1 0 %が経済競争に参加していたが、 今後約 3 0 %に増大する様になると、 肥満もしくは運動不足による弊害を持つ人は遥かに多 くなり、 健康問題において重大な課題となる。  Therefore, maintaining muscle mass and creating a body that is hard to gain weight is an urgent need in medical practice. This is a global trend. Up to now, about 10% of the world's population has participated in economic competition due to the expansion of the world economy.However, if it rises to about 30% in the future, people who suffer from obesity or lack of exercise will be affected. Will be much more and will be a major health issue.
一方、 筋力を増加させる方法に対するニーズは複数存在する。 すなわち、 脳卒 中罹患後等の患者のリハビリテーションに対するニーズや、 健常者の肥満、 運動 不足対策等のニーズがあげられる。 リハビリテーションは特に、 専門家の指導と 特殊な用具等を必要として在宅での実施は軽度な場合を除いて困難である。 肥満、 運動不足対策等のニーズは、 その対策として十分な時間的余裕を持って蓮動によ り必要な力口リ一消費ができるのは一部の富裕層のみであり、 その他の富裕層や 一般の労働者の場合十分な時間的余裕を確保することが困難である。 そこで、 多くの人の運動不足を改善する健康法の必要性があり、 既に生体に電 気刺激を印加して痩身する技術が提案されている。 例えば、 4 kHzの低周波に よる痩身器具が、 特開平 10— 57506号に開示されている。 1対の導子間に 周波数 4 kHz乃至 6 kHzでかつ継続時間が 200 m s程度の交流微弱電圧を、 毎分 20回乃至 40回の割合で 1 0分乃至 20分の間、 繰返し継続的に印加する 痩身方法である。 On the other hand, there are multiple needs for ways to increase muscle strength. In other words, there are needs for rehabilitation of patients after the onset of stroke, and measures for obesity and lack of exercise in healthy subjects. Rehabilitation is particularly difficult at home unless it requires expert guidance and special equipment, and it is difficult to perform at home. As for the needs for obesity and lack of exercise, only some of the wealthy can consume the necessary power through lotus movement with sufficient time as a countermeasure. In addition, it is difficult for ordinary workers to secure sufficient time. Therefore, there is a need for a health method that alleviates the insufficiency of exercise in many people, and techniques for applying electric stimulation to the living body for slimming have already been proposed. For example, a slimming device using a low frequency of 4 kHz is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-57506. An AC weak voltage with a frequency of 4 kHz to 6 kHz and a duration of about 200 ms is repeatedly applied between a pair of conductors at a rate of 20 to 40 times per minute for 10 to 20 minutes.

しかしながら、 従来の低周波電圧の印加では必ずしも十分な刺激を与えられな かった。 すなわち、 低周波電圧では皮膚層より深部に到達せず筋肉にまで低周波 電圧が到達しないという問題があつた。 However, conventional low-frequency voltage application does not always provide sufficient stimulation. won. That is, there was a problem that the low-frequency voltage did not reach deeper than the skin layer and did not reach the muscle.
一方、 高周波電圧印加方式では電極を真空吸引式することでバキュームポンプ が必要となる。 このバキュームポンプにより本体の形状が大きくなる問題が生じ ていた。 低周波電圧の印加装置は、 形状が小型であるため携帯しやすく個人が家 庭で使用するのにも不便が無いが、 高周波電圧の印加装置は、 形状が大型であり 携帯性に困難が生じていた。  On the other hand, in the high-frequency voltage application method, a vacuum pump is required by vacuuming the electrodes. This vacuum pump had a problem that the shape of the main body became large. The low-frequency voltage application device is small in size and easy to carry, so there is no inconvenience for individuals to use in the home.However, the high-frequency voltage application device has a large shape and makes portability difficult. I was
また、 主働筋や拮抗筋に印加する場合にも、 印可するタイミングによっては十 分な効果が得られていなかった。 また、 主導筋と拮抗筋とに印加する場合に、 そ れぞれの筋肉がどのような状態で印加されるべきかについて示されたものが無か つた。 このために、 十分な筋肉の収縮と伸張が十分になされず十分な痩身効果が 得られていなかった。  Also, when applying to the active and antagonistic muscles, sufficient effects were not obtained depending on the timing of application. In addition, when applying to the leading muscle and the antagonist muscle, there was no indication as to how each muscle should be applied. For this reason, sufficient muscle contraction and extension were not sufficiently performed, and a sufficient slimming effect was not obtained.
さらに、 電極の装着に時間がかかり、 余程の勤勉な人でなければ長期に渡って 使用し続けることが困難であった。  Furthermore, it took a long time to mount the electrodes, and it was difficult to continue using the electrodes for a long period of time unless someone was very diligent.
その上、 電圧や電流を高くすることで刺激到達深度を深くすることができるが、 高めることで非常に痛みを伴うため実用的でない。 しかも、 筋肉の収縮による運 動消費量を増加させるには内部の筋肉であるインナーマッスルにも刺激を印加す ると共に、 4 0 0個存在する骨格筋の 8 0 %程度の筋肉を筋肉収縮させる必要が あり、 必要な深度の筋肉に電気刺激を送り込めなければ、 全身運動相当のェネル ギーを消費することもできない。  In addition, increasing the voltage and current can increase the depth of the stimulus, but increasing it is not practical because it is very painful. Moreover, in order to increase the amount of motor consumption due to muscle contraction, it is necessary to apply a stimulus to the inner muscle, which is an internal muscle, and to contract about 80% of the 400 skeletal muscles. Without the ability to deliver electrical stimulation to muscles at the required depth, energy equivalent to whole-body exercise cannot be consumed.
また、 筋肉に大きな電流を印加することで、 筋肉を強収縮させる提案もなされ ているが、 このような運動は無酸素運動と略等しくなり、 筋肉内の糖質ゃグリコ —ゲンを分解するのみであり、 体脂肪を筋肉運動として利用する割合はかえつて 低下する。 筋肉の強収縮を続けると消費力口リ一が低下することがわかっており、 酸素消費で判断されるため、 無酸素運動では体脂肪の消費量が低下するためであ る。 ' すなわち、 筋肉収縮させる装置は既に提案されており、 筋力アップとなること は確認されているが、 必ずしも実際の体脂肪消費の効果が得られていない。 既になされている実験結果によれば、 印加電流を強くすることで筋肉への刺激 を増大させることで、 筋肉を強収縮させるが身体全体の消費力口リ一が減少する ことが確認されている。 It has also been proposed to strongly contract muscles by applying a large current to the muscles, but such exercises are almost equivalent to anaerobic exercise, and only decompose the carbohydrates and glycogen in the muscles. However, the rate of using body fat for muscular exercise decreases. It is known that the continuation of the strong contraction of the muscles reduces the power consumption, which is determined by oxygen consumption, and that the amount of body fat consumed by anaerobic exercise decreases. ' In other words, devices for contracting muscles have already been proposed and have been confirmed to increase muscle strength, but the effect of actual body fat consumption has not always been obtained. According to the experimental results already conducted, it is confirmed that increasing the applied current and increasing the stimulus to the muscles strongly contracts the muscles but reduces the power consumption of the whole body. .
また、 既に提案されている装置では、 筋肉の収縮強度を高くするあまり印加電 流を 7 O mAとする装置も存在するが、 筋肉の深部に届くことなく、 かえって痛 みを伴う不快感が増すだけである。  In addition, some of the already proposed devices increase the contraction strength of the muscle and apply an applied current of 7 O mA, but it does not reach the deep part of the muscle, but rather increases discomfort with pain Only.
さらに、 従来の装置では、 最も多かった電極数は、 刺激筋肉の数にして 6本で ある。 しかし、 これまでの知見では、 略全身の筋肉群を刺激し筋収縮を繰り返さ せないと骨格筋で運動のようにエネルギー消費をさせる意味はない。  Furthermore, in the conventional device, the largest number of electrodes is six in terms of the number of stimulating muscles. However, to date, there is no point in consuming skeletal muscle energy like exercising unless the muscles of the whole body are stimulated and muscle contraction is repeated.
そこで、 本発明の目的は、 筋肉の深部に刺激を供給すると共に形状が小型でか つ主働筋と拮抗筋への最適なタイミングで刺激を供給する痩身および健康増進用 高周波電流駆動システムの提供にある。 . 発明の開示  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-frequency current drive system for slimming and promoting health that supplies stimulation to deep parts of muscles and that supplies stimulation at optimal timing to the active and antagonist muscles with a small shape. is there. .
