Ergonomic and electronic designing of muscle stimulator
Abstract
The paper proposes a new ergonomic and electronic solution for the muscle stimulator. The device is programmable. It can be easily adjusted by the doctor, as well as by the patient. The design solution of this muscle stimulator has the improved interface. The device is safe to use and has determined ergonomic improvements. This muscle stimulator has small dimensions and light weight. The proposal includes a hardware solution using one of the most advanced electronic components MOSFET created on the basis of silicon carbide. The device has a low consumption. The stimulator has excellent electronic properties, while at the same time it is more suitable for handling and use in relation to existing ones. Presented design solutions also have a positive impact on the economic justification for the application of this device.
