Title:
ELECTROTHERAPY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019136495
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an electrotherapy device capable of gradually increasing stimulation intensity.SOLUTION: A voltage regulation circuit 12 is provided in an electrotherapy device 1. The voltage regulation circuit 12 is electrically connected to each of a DC power supply unit 11, a control unit 13, and a pulse output circuit 15. The voltage regulation circuit 12 can regulate the voltage output to the pulse output circuit 15 according to a first control signal received from the control unit 13. In order for pulse waveforms of current pulses output from the pulse output circuit 15 to vary in amplitude such that the pulse output circuit 15 can output an output current to at least one electrode sheet, stimulation intensity is allowed to gradually increase from a low value to a predetermined value. The electrotherapy device can thus stimulate corresponding acupoints on a human body with gradually increasing intensity and thereby simulate the forces and tactile sensations of a typical manual massage on those acupoints by hand.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
