Efferent Contraction Training Device And Training Method Using The Same

- 14 Apr 2014

TL;DR: An efferent contraction training device may include a fixing unit, an electrical stimulation pad and a driving unit as mentioned in this paper, which can be configured to fix an articulation of a patient, and can be effectively used for rehabilitating the patient with the paralytic musculature.

Abstract: An efferent contraction training device may include a fixing unit, an electrical stimulation pad and a driving unit. The fixing unit may be configured to fix an articulation of a patient. The fixing unit may include a first member and a second member connected to the first member. The second member of the fixing unit may have an angle with respect to the first member changed in accordance with movements of the articulation of the patient. The electrical stimulation pad may apply an electrical stimulation to a muscle of the articulation to provide the articulation with an efferent contraction exercise. The driving unit may drive the electrical stimulation pad. Thus, the efferent contraction training device may be effectively used for rehabilitating the patient with the paralytic musculature.
