Title:

PRESSURE MUSCULAR STRENGTH ENHANCING SYSTEM AND CONTROLLER, AND METHOD BEING CARRIED OUT BY CONTROLLER

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/112913

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A pressure muscular strength enhancing system in which the degree of obstruction of blood flow can be adjusted exactly when a pressure muscular strength enhancing method is carried out. The pressure muscular strength enhancing system comprises a cuff (100), a pressure setter (200), measuring instruments (300), and a controller (400). The cuff (100) is wound around a specified part of a limb. The cuff (100) is provided with a gastight gas bag, and a fastening force being imparted to a limb is varied by supplying air into the gas bag or removing air therefrom. The pressure setter (200) controls air being supplied into the gas bag or removed therefrom. The measuring instrument (300) is fixed to the end side of a limb applied with the cuff (100) and measures a measurement object value varying depending on increase/decrease of the fastening force. The controller (400) controls the pressure setter (200) based on the measurement object value. In other words, fastening force is controlled automatically based on the measurement object value in the pressure muscular strength enhancing system.
