Markelov stimulator
Any muscle of a person has its tone, i.e. it has a reflectory tension which depends on the nature of neural impulses reaching it. The human muscle tone is mosaic, because of the uneven distribution of load on its biomechanical links. An ideal muscle is elastic, extensible, it can be relaxed or tense, it always has the tone, and its characteristics are similar to rubber.
The muscles atrophy when one starts to lose muscle tone. The joints are supported thanks to the tone of the muscles that surround them. The tone of muscles surrounding a joint not only supports the latter, creating a kind of muscular jacket, but also expands the joint, increasing the joint space. In what way is the Markelov simulator different from similar devices? At first glance, our device operates according to the common principle by affecting the muscles in the area of the electrode by means of an electric signal. But it has features that none of the existing devices possess.
The first feature is the depth of impact: the device facilitates contraction of not only the surface layer of muscles and even not the muscle itself on which the electrode is set, but of all the muscles, to the full depth and with maximum force, and all of them work as a single coordinated mechanism. This happens due to the fact that our signal is similar to the natural signal sent by the human brain whenever it needs to contract a muscle. Deep contractions allow to increase the muscle tone in the necessary zone or revive those muscles that have begun to atrophy. All modern methods used by standard devices imply that their signals through the electrodes affect the pain zone, weakening the muscle tone.
