PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING A MUSCULAR ELECTROSTIMULATION PROTOCOL, AND RESPECTIVE PORTABLE MUSCULAR ELECTROSTIMULATION EQUIPMENT USING SAID PROTOCOL.

摘要

Process and equipment for muscular performance recovery in patients in general, specifically, ones practicing physical activity and athletes, the process providing the serial application of electrical pulses, transcutaneously, following stimulation steps: vasodilation, recovery and untightening phases. Equipment includes an electronic module containing monolithic cabinet having a body with two halves containing a mounted printed circuit board carrying the electronic circuit and the microcontroller, a power supply having a battery, whose external lower face houses a main electrode, and, with two electric conductor cables with satellite electrodes extending from a distal side, the electrodes having self-adhesive gel plates. An adjustable strip secures the equipment around a user's limb. A control panel has a power button and two intensity selection buttons. Additional internal components provided include: power source, step-up regulator, micro controller, power supply seal, boost source , intensity regulation, H-bridge, and electrode output modules.
