23 Jul Acupoint-stimulated knee orthosis
Abstract
The invention provides an acupoint stimulation type knee orthosis, which relates to the technical field of rehabilitation engineering. The knee orthosis body is used for fixing, correcting and supporting the knee joint, and the knee joint orthosis body is in close contact with the dense tissue of the knee joint; a plurality of acupoint stimulation electrode sheets are arranged at the acupoint contact point between the knee orthosis body and the knee joint, and the acupoint stimulation electrode sheets are of a multi-layer structure, comprising an adsorption layer, a conductive layer and a release membrane layer, wherein the conductive layer is provided with an outer interface; a therapeutic apparatus is electrically connected to the external interface through a wire for providing a low frequency pulse current to stimulate acupoints at the knee joint. The acupoint stimulation type knee orthosis provided by the invention utilizes the electric stimulation of the combined acupoints to enhance the therapeutic effect on knee osteoarthritis, can also exert the effect in the exercise, and can shorten the wearing time of the orthosis and increase the analgesic effect.
