Title:
SHOWER DEVICE FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000210357
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To fixedly keep the body feeling strength of a low frequency medical treatment without change in an electric conductivity between a conductor electrode and skin owing to sweat on skin or the like during the treatment by providing an electrolyte supply means in a conductor for applying a low frequency pulse voltage by means of an electrode which is tightly adhered to a body skin surface to be within the injection area of a warm water injecting part.

A flexible and hollow pipe 26 is bent and the conductor (shoulder) 18 is tightly adhered to a proper part in the shoulder part of a patient. Then the electrode 25 of the conductor (shoulder) 18 is energized through a cord 19 from the control means of a shower device main body and the low frequency pulse voltage is applied to the skin where the electrode 25 is adhered. At the time, warm water from a warm water supplier is supplied to a warm water injecting part (shoulder) 17 by a flow rate adjusting valve and injected from the tip of the injecting part. In this case, injected warm water is made to pass through a sponge part so that the solid electrolyte 28 inside a storing part 27 is gradually eluted and dissolved in warm water. Then warm water where the electrolyte 28 is dissolved soaks into the sponge part so that the electric conductivity between the conductor electrode 25 and the skin is fixedly kept.
