Muscular relaxation monitoring device and method
The patent US12023172B2 describes a muscular relaxation monitoring device and method designed to track and display muscle stimulation reactions. The device includes an obtaining unit that captures four consecutive stimulation reaction values, a display unit for visual representation, and a control unit that generates a display screen. The display differentiates the visual effects of the first and fourth reactions from those of the second and third reactions. A chart is presented on the display, with time represented on one axis and stimulation reaction values on the other. The control unit is responsible for displaying the latest reactions as bars on the chart, along with a history of these values, while also indicating the current stimulation being performed.
Additionally, the control unit is equipped to show the timing of the next four consecutive stimulations and includes a progress bar to indicate the current time. The device can animate the stimulation bar, illustrating changes in height from the start to the end of the stimulation. It also allows for the display of a numeric ratio between the first and fourth reactions, with distinct visual effects for current and past ratios. The patent outlines a comprehensive approach to monitoring muscle relaxation through visual data representation, enhancing the understanding of muscle responses during stimulation.
