BeschreibungDescription

Reizstrombehandlungen werden in der physikalischen Therapie und in der Kosmetik unter anderem durchgeführt, um das Gewebe und die Muskulatur zu enervieren. Manche Behandlungen zielen dabei darauf ab, durch künstlich herbeigeführte Muskelkontraktioonen die sogenannte physiologische Muskelpumpe zu aktivieren. Das funktioniert in vielen Fällen jedoch nicht im gewünschten Maße, da der Muskelpumpendruck aufgrund eines erschlafften Bindegewebes durch die Haut in die Athmosphäre verpufft. Hier schafft die Erfindung Abhilfe, indem sie um das Haut- bzw. Muskelgewebe heram eine Art künstliches Bindegewebe legt, welches gleichzeitig mit der Reizstrombehandlung aktiviert wird.Stimulation current treatments are used in physical therapy and cosmetics, among other things, to energize the tissue and muscles. Some treatments aim to activate the so-called physiological muscle pump through artificially induced muscle contractions. In many cases, however, this does not work to the desired extent, since the muscle pump pressure dissipates through the skin into the atmosphere due to slack connective tissue. This is where the invention provides a remedy by placing a type of artificial connective tissue around the skin or muscle tissue, which is activated at the same time as the stimulation current treatment.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Reizstromgeräte geben die beabsichtigten Stromimpulse über Elektroden auf das Hautgewebe aus. Die Elektroden bestehen in der Regel aus einem stromleitenden Gummimaterial oder aus metallischen Leitern, die auf ein stromleitendes oder feuchtes Vlies geigt werden, damit es nicht zu unerwünschten Hautreaktionen kommt. Die Elektroden werden dabei meist mit Klettverschlüssen oder unter Gummibändern befestigt. Werden durchgehende Elektrodenbänder verwendet, werden diese oftmals mit einer Klammer zusammengehalten. In einigen selteneren Fällen werden die Elektroden auf die Haut geklebt oder mit Hilfe einer Glocke und Unterdruck auf die Haut aufgebracht.Stimulation devices deliver the intended electrical impulses to the skin tissue via electrodes. The electrodes are usually made of a conductive rubber material or of metal conductors that are placed on a conductive or moist fleece to prevent unwanted skin reactions. The electrodes are usually attached with Velcro fasteners or under rubber bands. If continuous electrode bands are used, they are often held together with a clip. In some rarer cases, the electrodes are glued to the skin or applied to the skin using a bell and negative pressure.

Problemproblem

Herkömmliche Elektroden sind zwar in der Lage, eine je nach Indikation beabsichtigte Muskelreaktion herbeizuführen. Herkömmliche Elektroden sind jedoch ausschließlich dafür ausgelegt, Haut- und Muskelgewebe zu enervieren. Sie vermögen das Problem des Verpuffens der physiologischen Muskelpumpe aufgrund eines erschlafften Bindegewebes durch die Hautoberfläche jedoch nicht zu lösen.Conventional electrodes are able to induce a muscle reaction as intended depending on the indication. However, conventional electrodes are designed exclusively to enervate skin and muscle tissue. However, they cannot solve the problem of the physiological muscle pump failing due to slack connective tissue through the skin surface.

Erfindunginvention

Die Erfindung einer Elektrodenmanschette löst das Problem, indem sie sowohl die Elektroden auf die Extremität aufbringt, wo sie gewünscht werden. Hierdurch läßt sich das Haut- und Muskelgewebe in herkömmlicher Weise gut enervieren. Indem dieThe invention of an electrode cuff solves the problem by applying the electrodes to the extremity where they are desired. This allows the skin and muscle tissue to be enervated in the conventional way. By

Elektrodenmanschette gleicrzemg mit Druckluft beaufschlagt wird, wird das zu enervierende Gewebe kornpi irr-iert. Hierdurch ist ein Verpuffen der physiologischen Muskelpumpe kaum mehr möglich.If the electrode cuff is simultaneously pressurized with compressed air, the tissue to be enervated is irritated. This means that the physiological muscle pump can hardly fail.

Vorteilhafte Wirkung der ErfindungAdvantageous effect of the invention

Mit der Erfindung wird es möglich, die herkömmliche Reiszstrombehandlung in gegebenen Fällen noch effizienter durchzuführen.The invention makes it possible to carry out the conventional rice current treatment even more efficiently in certain cases.

Gleichzeitig stellt sie eine einfach zu handhabende Methode des Anlegens von Elektroden dar.At the same time, it represents an easy-to-use method of applying electrodes.

In Weiterentwicklungen kann die Elektrodenmanschette auch mit mehreren
Luftkammern ausgestattet werden, die richtungsvorgegeben und nacheinander komprimiert werden, so daß sich über die Wirkung der Beaufschlagung mit Strom hinaus auch noch eine physiologische Reaktion wegen der Beaufschlagung mit Kompressionsdruck einstellt.
In further developments, the electrode cuff can also be equipped with several
Air chambers are equipped with predetermined directions and are compressed one after the other, so that in addition to the effect of the electrical current, a physiological reaction also occurs due to the application of compression pressure.
