CA 2749264

The invention relates to facial stimulation apparatus configured to be worn on the a user's head, and which uses the ear (14) as an anatomical reference to ensure correct and repeatable placement of skin electrodes (16a, 16b) over the human facial nerves (12a-e) to facilitate Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Use of the ear as an anatomical reference ensures repeatable positioning of the electrode in contact with a single predetermined localised region of the face corresponding to the insertion of the facial nerve truck (10) overlying the sylomastoid foramen. The apparatus overcomes problems inherent in known devices and, in particular, requires no anatomical knowledge on the part of the end user for its safe and most effective placement.

L'invention concerne un appareil de stimulation faciale configuré pour être porté sur la tête d'un utilisateur et qui utilise l'oreille (14), en tant que référence anatomique, pour garantir une mise en place correcte et reproductible d'électrodes cutanées (16a, 16b) sur des nerfs faciaux humains (12a-e) dans le but de faciliter une stimulation musculaire électrique (EMS). L'utilisation de l'oreille en tant que référence anatomique garantit un positionnement reproductible de l'électrode en contact avec une seule région localisée prédéterminée du visage correspondant à l'introduction du tronc nerveux facial (10) recouvrant le trou stylomastoïdien. L'appareil surmonte les problèmes inhérents aux dispositifs connus et, en particulier, ne nécessite aucune connaissance anatomique de la part de l'utilisateur final pour sa mise en place sûre et la plus efficace.
