An apparatus for medical treatment is provided, which can reduce the load
of signal processing and allows the patient to recognize the state of
his/her muscular contraction more easily. The apparatus for medical
treatment being operatively coupled to at least one electrode adapted to
be contacted to a body portion or inserted into a body cavity, comprises:
an EMG signal processor for performing a signal processing related to an
EMG signal and including an envelope detector for receiving the EMG signal
originated from the electrodes, and for producing an EMG envelope signal;
a display unit for displaying information related to a medical treatment
based on the EMG envelope signal; an operation unit; a memory for storing
an treatment related data including the training goal waveform
information; a stimulation signal generator for generating a stimulation
signal; a main controller for controlling the operation of the above
elements. Also, a universal connecting member is made in the cable for
connecting to an electrode, so that various shape of electrodes are
capable of being coupled to the main body of medical treatment apparatus.
The compactness of the medical treatment apparatus reduces the cost for
manufacturing and the patient is allowed to easily recognize the state of
himself (or herself) during biofeedback therapy, thereby making the
therapy efficient.
