Title:
ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/125972
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This electrical stimulation device (1) includes a control unit that controls electric current that is output from electrodes (20, 30), which are capable of applying electrical stimulation to a target site on a body that includes lateral abdominal muscles and either back muscles or gluteal muscles, on the basis of a detection result from a detection unit (40) that is capable of detecting movements of the body. When the lateral abdominal muscles contract due to the electrical stimulation, abdominal pressure increases due to the contracted muscles, and when either the back muscles or the gluteal muscles contract due to the electrical stimulation, the orientation of the lower back is maintained by the contracted muscles. More specifically, by applying the electrical stimulation to the target site on the body that includes the lateral abdominal muscles and either the back muscles or the gluteal muscles, rigidity of the lower back is increased, the position of lower back becomes stable and strain on the lower back is reduced.
