Device for training the pelvic motor control while running, through electric stimulations
U202032725
Device for training pelvic motor control during gait, by means of electrical impulses, characterized in that it comprises: a casing that incorporates means for its coupling on the pelvic area of a patient, at least one sensor housed within the housing, and suitable for detecting the inclination or swaying of the hip of a patient when walking, at least one pair of electrodes on the outside of the housing, and suitable to be fixed on the lateral and posterior area of the pelvis of a patient, a generator of electrical signals housed inside the housing and electrically connected by means of respective connection cables with the electrodes, to apply electrical stimuli on a patient, depending on the sensor measurements, and a power source to power the signal generator housed in the housing.
Se ha detectado la necesidad de un aparato que facilite a los pacientes con patologías traumáticas y neurológicas, el re-aprendizaje de un correcto control pélvico durante la marcha. El dispositivo de la invención se basa en aplicar información propioceptiva al paciente, mediante estímulos eléctricos de voltaje e intensidad moderadas, a nivel de la cintura pélvica cuando en esta se detectan inclinaciones o balanceos que exceden unos valores predefinidos, es decir, que no se encuentren dentro de unos valores normales.
