Lack of exercise due to aging, unfamiliarity with exercise, orthopedic disease, and diseases, such as respiratory /cardiovascular disorders, may cause muscle atrophy from disuse. Exercise-deficient people cannot exercise, which can lead to decreasing muscle strength, worsening of the primary disease to cause pain, and distress in exercise, as well as a decrease in the motivation to exercise. This further reduces the exercise quantity to repeat the vicious cycle.
"Cannot exercise" and "Do not exercise" individuals are at higher risk of bedridden or requiring care, so it is necessary to exercise.
Perform strong muscle contractions at 20Hz for substitution of strength training.
Perform repeated single contractions at 4Hz for substitution of Aerobic exercise.
Belt electrodes move all leg muscles and can substitute for voluntary movement.
Since the electrode area is large and the skin's contact area is increased, the potential density is dispersed, making the electrode less painful and allowing high-intensity muscle contractions.
Motor points: Points with dense neuromuscular junctions to which current is applied to move the muscle
Since the electrode is large, anyone can perform the same treatment regardless of the motor point, and there is high treatment reproducibility.
