Muscle stimulation consists of a muscle's work when it is in constant exercise or contraction. This article presents an electro-stimulator design that generates electrical pulses in muscle cells through two electrodes positioned in an area of the body, causing the response of said cells to improve muscle atrophy. The steps that were followed were the construction of the block diagram, the design, and development of the circuit, the design and development of the control based on the pic12F683 and pic 16F690 microcontrollers, finally, the development of the software of the mobile application that controls the equipment using Bluetooth signals, based on the standard of IEC 60601-1 for basic safety and essential equipment performance. It was possible to obtain control of the frequency, application time, and amplitude of the duty cycle to have better results when applying therapy in specific areas of the body through the mobile application. Finally, the design is developed to respond to the user's parameters, using the Bluetooth of a mobile device and allowing the generation of electrical pulses in the muscle cells to improve muscle atrophy. The team can be part of therapeutic sessions for people with quadriplegia, improving the physiotherapy sessions performed on patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
