Abstract: A device includes at least one electrode unit for an electrostimulation or a data acquisition by diagnostic instruments. The device is formed from a textile material and has at least two layers. The at least one electrode unit is disposed in or on a first layer, and a second layer is disposed on the first layer in such a way that the first layer and the second layer form at least one pocket. At least one support-pad part is disposed exchangeably in the pocket.

Abstract: A device for electrostimulation or for data acquisition by diagnostic instruments has at least one electrode unit with the following layers: a) base layer with at least one electrode disposed in or on the base layer, and b) layer with one of the following layer structures: b1) plastic layer and layer of knitted fabric and plastic layer or b2) layer of knitted fabric and plastic layer or b3) plastic layer and layer of knitted fabric. The layers a) and b) are joined tightly with one another.

Abstract: An apparatus for electrostimulation has a whole-body support and electrodes disposed in the support. The electrodes are disposed in pairs, relative to a center longitudinal axis of the apparatus, and are configured so that they can be controlled one after the other or simultaneously. A method for controlling multiple electrodes in an apparatus for electrostimulation disposes the electrodes in or on the apparatus for electrostimulation, which has a support for part of the body or for the whole body. The electrodes are configured so that they can be controlled one after the other or simultaneously. The electrodes are controlled individually or in pairs, with regard to a duration and/or an intensity of the stimulation.

Abstract: An apparatus for transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TNS) with a power supply, a frequency generator and an electric circuit for the generation of different output frequencies of variable intensity at the output electrodes which may be connected to the apparatus and to an output short circuit to improve the pulse form emitted. The output short circuit network comprises a transistor T1, which upon actuation by a triggering pulse activates with its collector the base of a subsequent transistor T2, in a manner such that the trigger pulse is inverted in the transistor T1, whereby the transistor T2 switches to the negative pulse flank and the outlet is short-circuited by the discharge resistor R(ent) connected to the emitter side.
