Device and method for electric stimulation of muscles involved in human physiological gait pattern and brace to support an anatomical joint with such device
Device and method for electric stimulation of muscles involved in human physiological gait pattern and brace to support an anatomical joint with such device
A device for electrical stimulation of muscles involved in the physiological gait of a human includes an element for electrical muscle stimulation. A sensor detects information relevant to the muscle stimulation. The sensor includes a gyroscope constructed to detect information including an angular speed ω and a swing direction in an extension direction and flexion direction of an anatomical lower leg of the human. An evaluation unit, including a microprocessor, evaluates the information detected by the gyroscope, determines a defined switching time for the muscle stimulation on the basis of the angular speed ω and the swing direction, and transmits the determined switching time to a control and regulation unit that triggers muscle stimulation by the element in response to receipt of the determined switching time.
