WEARABLE VIBRATORY STIMULATION DEVICE AND OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL THEREOF
First Claim
1. A wearable vibratory stimulation device, comprising:
- a measuring instrument for obtaining data relating to a body motion of a user who wears the vibratory stimulation device;
a walking pattern database for storing normal walking pattern data collected by measuring general persons having normal walking patterns and information about an inherent walking pattern analysis result of a specific user;
a controller for analyzing the body motion information of the user, transmitted from the measuring instrument, by comparing with the walking pattern data stored in the walking pattern database, and generating a stimulation signal to be applied to a specific body portion of the user; and
an exciting unit for applying a vibratory stimulation to the specific body portion in response to the stimulation signal transmitted from the controller.

7. An operational protocol of a wearable vibratory stimulation device, comprising:
-
measuring, by a measuring instrument, a motion of a user who wears the vibratory stimulation device and obtaining data relating to a body motion of the user; transmitting the data obtained by the measuring instrument to a controller; analyzing, by the controller, the data relating to the body motion of the user, transmitted from the measuring instrument, by comparing with a walking pattern data stored in a walking pattern database, to determine whether the walking pattern of the user is normal; in the case the controller determines that the walking pattern of the user is abnormal, determining the kind of a stimulation signal, a stimulation pattern and a stimulation time point and generating a stimulation signal in order to correct the walking pattern; and applying, by an exciting unit, a vibratory stimulation to a specific body portion of the user in response to the stimulation signal transmitted from the controller. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
