Abstract:
An electrical clinical apparatus including an electrode, which is in contact with a body part or is inserted into a body cavity, for detecting electromyogram (EMG) signals thereof or for applying electrical stimulation signals thereto, the electrical clinical apparatus comprising:a central control device for forming a plurality of protocols by varying frequencies of the electrical signals to be applied to a body part, and for generating a plurality of variants by assembling the protocols, and for respectively selecting protocols or variants to be assigned to each channel of said electrode out of the protocols and variants; a memory device for storing the protocols or variants produced by said central control device, or for re-inputting the stored protocols or variants back to said central control device according to a predetermined program; and an output device for outputting the selected protocol or variant to each channel of said electrode, wherein said electrode assigned with the protocols or variants of choice includes a single- or multi-channel in the same or opposite direction of current and wherein the selected protocols or variants are characterized by the same or opposite electric characteristics each other.
