- a muscle augmentation device used for muscle augmentation
- a muscle suitable for performing a pressurized muscle augmentation method that enables not only a healthy person but also a person having an impaired motor function to efficiently achieve muscle augmentation.
- the inventor of the present application has been conducting research for the purpose of developing a muscle augmentation method that enables easy, safe, and efficient muscle augmentation. He has filed a patent application for No. 313949, and has received patent No. 2670421.
- the muscle-building method according to this patent which is performed using pressurization, has a unique feature called “pressurized muscle-building method”, which has not been known before.
- This muscle building method is based on the following theory.
- the muscle building method according to the above patent is based on the theory of muscle building by inhibiting blood flow, and more specifically, a site close to the heart that is close to the muscle to be strengthened, that is, A tightening force that impedes blood flow is applied to the upper part close to the muscle, and by adjusting the tightening force, an appropriate load due to obstruction of blood flow is applied to the muscle, thereby reducing fatigue of the muscle.
- the effect is to increase muscle efficiency efficiently.
- This method of strengthening muscles is a method of strengthening muscles by applying a load to the muscles due to impaired blood flow, and thus has a major feature that exercise is not required when strengthening muscles.
- this muscle-building method can compensate for the total amount of load exerted on the muscle by applying the load due to blood flow inhibition to the muscle, when combined with exercise, the load due to exercise can be reduced compared to the conventional method. It has the advantage of This advantage has the effect of reducing the amount of exercise performed by the muscles, thereby reducing the risk of joint and muscle damage and shortening the training period.
- Devices that can be used to inhibit blood flow through muscles include the belt tightening disclosed by the inventor of the present application in the above-mentioned specification of Patent Application No. 313,949, 1993. There are fasteners that impede blood flow with force.
- this fastener can be narrower, it has the advantage that it can be accurately attached to the appropriate location for the muscle that is trying to impede blood flow.
- it is difficult to accurately measure the tightening pressure applied to the muscle, and if accurate measurement of the tightening pressure is enabled, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is slightly higher.
- the inventor of the present application has conducted research on a muscle building device that can overcome such a problem.
- the present invention has a structure in which a rubber tube is arranged inside a tightening band, and uses an improved man-shelf that applies a tightening force to the arm by winding the tightening band around the arm and sending air into the tube. It is.
- the width of the tube provided in the hollow portion inside the tightening band is also narrow, so if air is sent to this and pressurized, The tube expands toward the side not facing the muscle (outside), and the pressure generated by the expansion of the tube escapes outward without applying to the muscle, and it is not possible to apply appropriate tightening force to the muscle. There is.
- the muscle augmentation device described in the above-mentioned 1996 Patent Application No. 248319 which was created in order to overcome such a problem, has the tube inflating direction facing the muscle (inside).

Can be added to the muscle.
- the elastic body is, for example, rubber.
- the tube is formed by laminating elastic bodies having different expansion and contraction rates, and the elasticity of the elastic body on the side facing the muscle when the tightening band is wound around the muscle does not face the muscle. It may be larger than the elasticity of the elastic body on the side. In this way, when air is injected into the tube, the tube expands on the side with higher elasticity, that is, the side facing the muscle, so that the pressure generated by the expansion of the tube is applied to the muscle, and the appropriate tightening force is applied. Can be added to the muscle.
