Publication number: 20240123229Abstract: Provided is an electrostimulation device that outputs an electrical signal, the electrical signal obtained by repeatedly outputting a fifth electrical signal comprising a first electrical signal whose amplitude in a first time becomes larger from a first amplitude, a second electrical signal whose amplitude in a second time is maintained to a second amplitude, a third electrical signal whose amplitude in a third time becomes smaller to a third amplitude, and a fourth electrical signal whose amplitude in a fourth time is maintained to a fourth amplitude; and the first electrical signal output in a sixth time, that is obtained by repeatedly outputting an eighth electrical signal comprising a sixth electrical signal having a first frequency, the sixth electrical signal that is off in a seventh time, wherein the first frequency is controlled via first frequency control of changing from a second frequency to a third frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: ITO CO., LTD.Inventors: Daigo YOSHIDA, Ryoichi TAKASU, Wataru ORITO, Osamu ITO, Hideki ARAI

Patent number: 8328730Abstract: A living body measurement apparatus according to the present invention functions both as a muscular tissue hardness tester for measuring hardness of muscular tissue of a living body and as an algesiometer for measuring a degree of sense of pain of the living body, and the apparatus includes: an contacting section which includes a first contact surface contacting the living body, and which applies pressure to the living body; an auxiliary section which includes a second contact surface contacting the living body, and which supports the second contact surface so that the second contact surface perform reciprocating movement between a coplanar position in which the second contact surface is disposed substantially coplanar with the first contact surface and a retracted position in which the second contact surface is retracted with respect to the first contact surface; and a locking mechanism which locks the auxiliary section in a state in which the second contact surface is disposed at the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2007Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: ITO Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimasa Sakagami, Hiroshi Karasuno, Hisashi Kuroda, Makoto Sasaki, Wataru Orito

Patent number: 8246553Abstract: A muscle hardness meter according to the present invention, which measures the hardness of muscle tissue of a living organism, includes: an auxiliary part which touches a periphery of a section of the living organism to be measure so as to apply pressure to the periphery; a touching part which touches the section to be measured so as to apply pressure to the section to be measured; a first pressure sensor which measures pressures that the touching part and the auxiliary part sustain, respectively, from the section to be measured and the periphery, and outputs a first measurement result; a second pressure sensor which measures a pressure that the touching part sustains from the section to be measure, and outputs a second measurement result; a notification part which notifies the second measurement result; and a control part which determines whether or not the first measurement result teaches a reference pressure value input in advance and notifies the second measurement result to the notification part at a timType: GrantFiled: August 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Ito Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimasa Sakagami, Hiroshi Karasuno, Hisashi Kuroda, Makoto Sasaki, Wataru Orito
