Electrostimulator and control device of same
View Patent ↗A control device of an electrostimulator is used in the electrostimulator including an electrode, an angular velocity sensor, and a notifier. The control device includes a controller that controls electrostimulation which is output from the electrode and that counts the number of times of movements as the number of times of the reciprocating movements of the target site; and a storage that stores preset information. The storage stores a first threshold value and a second threshold value. The controller causes the notifier to display movement information including the number of times of the movements, based on a state in which an angular velocity reaches the second threshold value after reaching the first threshold value.
1. A control device of an electrostimulator, which is used in the electrostimulator including an electrode that outputs electrostimulation to a target site of a human body which repeats reciprocating movements, a detector that outputs a signal in which motion of the target site is reflected, and a notifier that displays movement information as information related to the reciprocating movement, the control device comprising:
a controller that controls electrostimulation which is output from the electrode based on a detected value as a value obtained in response to the signal from the detector, and that counts the number of times of movements as the number of times of the reciprocating movements of the target site; and
a storage that stores a first threshold value and a second threshold value which are compared with the detected value so as to count the number of times of the movements, wherein:
the controller causes the notifier to display the movement information including the number of times of the movements, based on a state in which the detected value reaches the first threshold value, and then, reaches the second threshold value, and
in a case where one cycle of the movement of the target site is calculated based on the detected value, and the calculated one cycle is shorter than a predetermined one cycle, the controller maintains a state in which the number of times of the movements is displayed from the notifier.
