(D) when the operating position of switching part 53 is set to the operating position corresponding with pattern D, control part 40 is stimulated to apply electricity irritation to thigh 60 or shank 70 constantly by least one in electrode section 31 ~ 33.Now, the size being supplied to the electric current of thigh 60 or shank 70 from each electrode section 31 ~ 33 is greater than the size of current of pattern C and is less than the size of current of Mode A and Mode B.Thus, apply weak electricity irritation to lower limb constantly, therefore lower limb are failure to actuate and enhance muscular strength.
(E) when the operating position of switching part 53 is set to the operating position corresponding with pattern E, stimulate control part 40 based on the testing result of sensor 41 ~ 43, electricity irritation is applied to thigh 60 or shank 70.Specifically, as (E1) below ~ (E3), carry out energising control.
(E1) stimulate control part 40 when the testing result based on joint displacements detecting sensor 41 is judged as that kneed displacement is less than ormal weight, be predicted as the load hour that knee joint is applied, do not pass through electrode section 31 ~ 33 and be energized to trans-articular flesh.On the other hand, when stimulating control part 40 to be judged as that kneed displacement is identical with ormal weight or be greater than ormal weight based on the testing result of joint displacements detecting sensor 41, be predicted as the load that knee joint is applied large time, at least one passing through in electrode section 31 ~ 33 of stimulation control part 40 is energized to trans-articular flesh.As step mode now, stimulate control part 40 both can be large and increase the quantity delivered of the electric current of each electrode section 31 ~ 33 along with kneed displacement quantitative change, or also can no matter how kneed displacement all supplies fixing electric current.
(E2) stimulate control part 40 when the testing result based on joint rotation sensor 42 is judged as that kneed rotation is less than ormal weight, be predicted as the load hour that knee joint is applied, do not rotate flesh by electrode section 31,32 to joint and be energized.On the other hand, stimulate control part 40 when the testing result based on joint rotation sensor 42, when being judged as that kneed rotation is identical with ormal weight or be greater than ormal weight, be predicted as the load that knee joint is applied large time, rotate flesh energising by least one in electrode section 31,32 to joint.As step mode now, stimulate control part 40 both can be large and increase the quantity delivered of the electric current of each electrode section 31,32 along with kneed rotation quantitative change, or also can no matter how kneed rotation amount all supplies fixing electric current.
(E3) stimulate control part 40 when the testing result based on operating state detecting sensor 43 is judged as that user does not carry out applying the action of load to knee joint, be not energized to trans-articular flesh by electrode section 31 ~ 33.On the other hand, stimulate control part 40 when the testing result based on operating state detecting sensor 43 is judged as that user carries out applying the action of load to knee joint, be energized to trans-articular flesh by least one in electrode section 31 ~ 33.In addition, apply the action of load as to knee joint, walking can be listed, action of getting out of a predicament or an embarrassing situation, stand up action and action of sitting down.
According to the present embodiment, following action effect can be played.
