Description

Intelligent switch joint is nursed
Related application
The application is repeated the earlier application No.13/902 submitted on May 27th, 2013,917 substantial portion, and The additional disclosure not provided in addition or claimed earlier application.Because the application specifies what is specified in earlier application Inventor or at least a co-inventor, so the application may make up the part continuation application of earlier application.
Technical field
The present invention relates to the programmable sensory stimuli network or netted for including but is not limited to nervous system for physiological stimulation System.
Background technology
User feedback is pain and the important component of oedema management.With individual to the tolerance of pain and oedema and The difference of sensation, treatment is customized to individual becomes important.The pain and oedema of joint and muscle can be caused by multiple factors. Swelling, strain or fracture in tissue can cause the severe pain and oedema of last longer.In addition, the DOMS of delay breaking-out And debilitating pain due to initiation of taking exercise and overuse and oedema can cause the activity that may limit daily life respectively Make us uncomfortable pain and oedema.The chronic ache caused by the diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and oedema can shadows Ring ADL and the comfort level of sufferer individual.
It is currently, there are the method for some pain of alleviation and oedema.The pharmaceutical methods pair of pain and oedema are treated with antalgesic Acute Pain and oedema are effective；But the side effect caused by long-term use, these pharmaceutical methods are for managing chronic ache With oedema without so effective.
More conventional pain of alleviation and the non-pharmaceutical method of oedema are by massage and seismotherapy and Shiatsu.Press Therapy of rubbing is the operating technology for muscle and connective tissue enhancing function and help agglutination.Massotherapy can alleviate due to The reason for Skeletal muscle injury, rehabilitation exercise damage and other cause pain and oedema caused pain and oedema.In addition, massage is treated Method has been demonstrated that diastolic dimension can be strengthened, and can ease off the pressure, anxiety and subclinical depression.Massotherapy is also proved to drop temporarily Low blood pressure and heart rate.
Shiatsu is related to applies physical pressure to the privileged site of body, is ached with reaching a certain degree for the treatment of or alleviation Pain and oedema.But these equipment need Physical Therapist to participate in just playing a role during treatment.
Electro photoluminescence is another method for slowing down pain and oedema, wherein the position of the generation pain and oedema to body is applied Add the electrical energy pulse of low current level.In order to apply electro photoluminescence, teaching in prior art uses TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) equipment. TENS equipment transmits electric pulse come control pain and water by skin to (top layer) cutaneous nerve and (deep layer) afferent nerve It is swollen.TENS can stimulate specific nerve to alleviate the pain of specified point and oedema.
Another method of pain of alleviation and oedema is to stimulate cerebral cortex by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) In specific neural tuple.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) be it is a kind of by making electric current instantaneously through coil and non-invasively Stimulate Cortical Neurons and low-intensity magnetic field and the method for electric current are produced in Cortical Neurons using electromagnetic induction principle.
