Description

 The invention relates to medical equipment and can be used for simultaneous electrical exposure and exposure to the type of shiatsu on the human body.

 A device is known whose functional element is a hemisphere made of a dielectric - equipped with a point electrode in the center. The hemisphere, driven by an electric motor, acts on biologically active points by friction and heat and static electricity arising from friction. A point electrode is used to search for biologically active points; exposure to them through it during the hemisphere rotation is not provided and impossible.

 In addition, the impact of the Shiatsu type of this device is also not provided and is impossible.

 Devices are known where several active electrodes are used to affect the human body. However, at the same time as electric exposure, the effect of shiatsu type is not provided for by this device.

 A device for segmental reflexology is known. This device, taken as a prototype, contains a combined housing with needles placed on it, which are also electrodes, and fixation elements.

 The disadvantage of the prototype is the impossibility of exposure to the type of shiatsu.

 The aim of the invention is to enhance the therapeutic effect by exposure to point pressure type Shiatsu on body parts of various configurations.

 This goal is achieved by the fact that the device, consisting of a housing, fixation elements and point active electrodes, contains an active element for the combined effect of the Shiatsu type and, at the same time, additionally, by electric current. The working surface of the housing of the active element is uniformly covered with cells with contacts for removable finger-shaped elements, each of which is equipped with a point electrode, contact with the cell and the lock.

 In FIG. 1-6 shows the active element for a combined effect with some options for the relative positioning of the rods on it; in FIG. 7 - the lower surface of the active element without the image of the rods; in FIG. 8 - active element, side view; in FIG. 9 - working rod (finger-shaped element) and a cell in section.

 The housing 1, equipped with a handle 2, is connected to the contacts for the cells 3, connected with the switch 4 and with the lower plate 5, equipped with cells 6, screws 7-10. The rod 11 is equipped with a point electrode 12, a contact 13 and a pin 14 for the bent channel 15 of the cell 16. The pin 14 and the channel 15 forms a lock for the removable rod 11.

 The active element for combined exposure is prepared for work as follows. Removable rods 11 are inserted into the cells 6 of the lower plate 5 in such a relative position as is necessary to affect a part of the human body in a particular disease by screwing the pin 14 into the channel 15 of the cell 6 and thereby securing the lock formed by them.

 FIG. 1 - the rods are arranged in two parallel lines for paravertebral action along the first lateral lines of the back with osteochondrosis, radiculitis.

 FIG. 2 - the rods are located crosswise to act on the thigh with a "cross" of radiculitis.

 FIG. 3 - the rods are located in the form of a lattice for affecting the back muscles with radiculitis, myositis, for affecting the buttocks with a "cross" of radiculitis.

 FIG. 4 - the rods are located in the form of an oval for influencing the rear of the elbow joint with its diseases.

 FIG. 5 - the rods are arranged in a circle for impact around the calyx of the knee joint with its diseases.

 FIG. 6 - the rods are located in two parallel lines for paravertebral action along the second lateral lines of the back with osteochondrosis, radiculitis.

 A device for the combined effects on the human body works as follows. A passive electrode (not shown) that performs the traditional function of applying electric current to the body as a mass is mounted on the patient’s body, for example, he takes it in the hand or cheek, after which the active element is pressed with the ends of the rods to the outer part of the body, feeding an electric current is applied to it in the comfort zone so that the patient feels a “mosquito bite”, but not pain or burning sensation, adjusting it with an ammeter with a potentiometer. Electric current is supplied either to all points simultaneously or alternately, pressing the active element for the right time - several seconds.

 Depending on the individual sensitivity, disease, condition of the patient, direct current, positive or negative charge, alternating current, pulse, with curved curves, etc., can be applied to the active electrodes of the active element and the passive electrode, i.e., all used in electrotherapy types of point electric exposure in values harmless to the patient of magnitude and voltage adopted by the Ministry of Health.

 Elements such as a passive electrode, a potentiometer, an electric power source, switches, switches, wires (not shown), since they perform traditional functions and their relative position does not matter. For the same reason, claims are limited to the active element similarly to the prototype.

 Using the proposed device expands the impact on the human body in any part of it.

Claims (1)
