REPOSITIONING DEVICE, GARMENT, AND POSTURE MOLDING METHOD AND TRAINING INSTRUCTION METHOD USING THEM

摘要

A repositioning device comprises a case provided on a skin side of a garment or being attachable to a human body surface by an adhesive, and thereby adapted to contact said human body surface. A piezoelectric element is provided within the case and adapted to generate vibrations in a range of 3 Hz to 5 MHz. A coin battery is provided within the case for supplying power to the piezoelectric element, and a controller is provided within the case for controlling generation of said vibrations by the piezoelectric element. The case has a point-like surface of 4 cm2 or smaller for contacting the skin surface of the user, and the piezoelectric element is provided at a central part of the point-like surface. The case is adapted to transmit the vibrations generated by the piezoelectric element to the human skin surface, and the repositioning device is adapted to facilitate neurotransmission in a muscle at said part of the human skin surface, by cutaneous stimulation caused by the vibrations. A garment comprising the repositioning device and a use of a garment for molding an ideal posture are also disclosed.
