Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator with automatic detection of leg orientation and leg motion for enhanced sleep analysis, including enhanced transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) using the same

摘要

Apparatus for providing transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy to a user, the apparatus comprising: a housing; an application unit for providing mechanical coupling between the housing and the user's body; a stimulation unit for electrically stimulating at least one nerve of the user; a sensing unit for sensing the user's body movement and body orientation; and a reporting unit for providing the user with feedback based on the user's sensed body movement and body orientation.
