23 Jul Knee brace for continual electro-acupunctural stimulation; in vivo and in situ tissue engineering
Abstract
A knee brace for continual electro-acupuncture stimulation system comprises: a first electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Heting (S 156)’; a second electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Spleen 10’; a third electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Stomach 34’; a fourth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Hsiyen (S 145)’; a fifth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Stomach 35’; a sixth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point ‘Bladder 40’. The first, second, and third electrodes are connected to a polarity of voltage, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth electrodes are connected to an opposite polarity of voltage, such that electric currents flow in a body of a patient to achieve analgesia, cartilage repair and regeneration in the knee joint.
