Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 醫學工程學研究所 === 94 === Urinary Incontinence always exists in human being. It disturbs patients psychologically and physiologically and costs a lot of social resources. The method of Electrical Stimulation (ES) therapy is not a destructive therapy and is highly acceptable for patients in different urinary incontinence. This therapy possesses more than 50% effectiveness in foreign clinical trials. We developed an electrical stimulator for the therapy of urinary incontinence in this thesis. This device will be served as the instrument for animal investigations or clinical trials. The parameters of the proposed electrical stimulator were determined by referring the literatures and refined by medical doctors. This is to obtain an optimal specification for clinical applications. The stimulator has two independent current source outputs, low power consumption for portable use. Its performance meets the original goals.
