Patent number: 10272243Abstract: A control device for an electrical stimulation apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a control section that adjusts an output of an electrode and communicates with an angular velocity detector, the electrode giving electrical stimulation to a predetermined part of a body doing a pedaling exercise by rotating a crank, the predetermined part being at least one of a leg and an arm, the angular velocity detector detecting an angular velocity of the predetermined part, the angular velocity being accompanied by an operation of the predetermined part during the pedaling exercise. The control section adjusts, according to a result of the detection in the angular velocity detector, an output timing of the electrical stimulation of the electrode such that the electrode gives electrical stimulation to the predetermined part when a state of the operation of the predetermined part during the pedaling exercise is a predetermined operation state.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinari Nishimura, Ryo Ichimura

Patent number: 10265522Abstract: Electro-stimulator (1) includes electrode pad (60) that outputs current to provide electrical stimulation to a muscle, angular velocity sensor (51) that detects information on motion of a waist, and controller (30) that adjusts magnitude of the current output from electrode pad (60) based on a result of the detection by angular velocity sensor (51). Electro-stimulator (1) further includes belt (11) that supports electrode pad (60), angular velocity sensor (51), and controller (30). Thus, current flows through an abdomen, thereby providing electrical stimulation to the abdomen, and enabling proper training of abdominal muscles.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Keita Inui, Izumi Mihara, Ryo Ichimura

Patent number: 9802040Abstract: The human body stimulation apparatus comprises a left detection unit, a right detection unit, a determination unit, a control unit, a right stimulation unit and a left stimulation unit. The detection units generate a detection signal according to a walking motion of a human body. The determination unit divides the walking motion of one walking cycle into multiple walking stages on the basis of the detection signal. The determination unit determines that the walking motion is stopped on the basis of at least one duration time of the walking stages. The control unit controls the magnitude of the stimulation that the right stimulation unit and the left stimulation unit apply to the human body on the basis of the determination results of the determination unit.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Ichimura, Izumi Mihara, Keita Inui
