In an aged society, the problem of urine incontinence is becoming more serious. Urine incontinence is a considerable factor in lowering the QOL (quality of life) of both elderly people and care workers. It is important to understand the micturition desire of elderly people in advance and to take appropriate care. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is one of the low cost and portable methods of examining...
Electrical stimulation was applied to drive rat skeletal muscle cells. Then this driving force was utilized to fabricate a diaphragm type micropump. First, a skeletal muscle cell sheet, which consisted of skeletal muscle cells on a PDMS sheet, was fabricated to extract the drive force from the cells. These cells are known to align along a micro pattern. We took advantage of this principle and patterned...
Electric simulation (ES) was applied to improve the weakness of paralyzed muscles and to reduce spasticity due to strokes. ES was applied to the forearm extensors with surface electrodes. A two-axis electric goniometer and a grasping-power meter were developed to measure dynamic changes of the wrist angles and grasping power under the various stimulation conditions, respectively. Optimal current frequency...
