Therefore, it is necessary to provide the air dam means for applying the air pressure to the cuff as close to the cuff and the solenoid valve 4 as possible and not to lengthen the hose. The hose preferably has an inner diameter of at least 7 mm. It is also necessary to shorten the length of the hose from the solenoid valve to the cuff itself as much as possible. In this case, use a hose with a reinforced mesh so that it does not swell due to atmospheric pressure. The cuff has a structure of 0.125-0.
It can expand or contract in 15 seconds, thus
The air pressure of the air dam and the diameter of the solenoid valve are determined so that the expansion cycle is completed in 0.25 to 0.3 seconds.

通じて０．４秒とすることができる。FIG. 5 is a graph showing an electrocardiogram (A), an aortic pressure (B), and a cuff movement sequence (C) during left ventricular diastole. In the embodiment, the cuffs 5a, 5b, and 5c are the compression members most distal to the trunk in each limb when the left ventricle diastole, which corresponds to the base of the T wave of the electrocardiogram, is started, that is, the diastolic phase begins. 5a performs compression operation within 0.3 seconds, starts compression operation of the next compression member 5b at the peak of this operation, and further starts compression operation of the last compression member 5C at the peak of this operation,
The operation of the three cuffs ends within 0.6 seconds, and the diastole ends slightly before the third (or last) cuff pressing operation ends. It should be noted that this timing can sufficiently correspond to the heart rate of 55 to 99 of a healthy person, and even in the case of slight arrhythmia or tachycardia, it is theoretically applicable up to the heart rate of 100 (R wave interval of 0.6 seconds). Further, if the operation period of the compression member is, for example, about 0.2 seconds, it can be set to 0.4 seconds through the three compression members.

る。The above-described limb compression operation operates in the diastole so as not to burden the heart, particularly the left ventricle, and therefore has a harmful effect such as pushing back arterial blood to the heart as in systole. Rather, it promotes blood circulation and eliminates swelling, pain, and stiffness caused by harmful poor blood circulation, and at the same time improves circulation of the blood circulation, which can enhance physical activity and physical strength.

This timing can be set by presetting a delay to the lower end of the downward slope of the T wave that can be predicted after detecting the R wave having the highest potential in the electrocardiograph, and triggering by this. In the microphone sound collection method in which the heart sound is triggered by the electrostatic microphone, it is easy to pick up external noise, and therefore it is necessary to provide a filter circuit.

It can also be used. In addition, as a modified example of the present invention, when a plurality of compression members arranged and attached to the limb are sequentially driven from the trunk side, it is considered that the limbs and fingertips can be used for blood circulation disorders.

Instead of the compression members 5a, 5b, and 5c, a stimulating power source 13 having various waveform generating functions can be mounted on the user's limb (for example, a cuff structure similar to the previous embodiment). At each pair of stimulation electrodes 15a, 15b,
15c is provided. 14a, 14b, 14c are gates whose timing is controlled by the control unit 2 as in the case of the solenoid valve, but in terms of the circuit structure, the stimulating power source 1 is used.
3 or stimulation electrodes 15a, 15b, 15c may be included. Therefore, in this embodiment, by applying a DC or AC voltage between each pair of electrodes by the same position and timing relationship as the compression member of the previous embodiment,
The limbs are electrically stimulated to have the same blood circulation promoting effect.

Human blood circulatory system flows from the small circulation in both lungs and the left ventricle to the capillaries through the aortas, arteries and small arteries, and then returns to the right atrium from systemic tissues through venules, veins, and caval veins. Since it is a closed system due to the serial relationship of the general circulation, the limb compression member consisting of an airbag-like cuff is driven in order from the one proximal to the tip of the limb of the user during the left ventricular diastole. This means that the venous blood as a smooth flow can be efficiently returned to the right atrium in accordance with the flow direction of venous blood. This inevitably improves the volumetric efficiency of the right atrium and ventricle and increases the blood flow in the pulmonary artery.

The object of the present invention is to provide a device that cures or ameliorates the problems and further activates cell metabolism.
