Abstract
To provide a pressure muscle strength increasing apparatus that allows accurate adjustment of the degree of blood flow restriction when a pressure muscle strength increasing method is carried out. The pressure muscle strength increasing apparatus is comprised of a tight fitting device, a pressure setting segment, quantification segments, and a control segment. The tight fitting deviceis wrapped around a predetermined range on a limb. The tight fitting devicehas an air-tight gas bag. The compression force applied to the limb can be varied by supplying the air to and removing the air from the gas bag. The pressure setting segmentcontrols the supply and removal of the air into and from the gas bag. The quantification segmentis intended to be rest on the limb which the tight fitting deviceis wrapped around on the distal side thereof to quantify a quantification target that varies depending on the increase and decrease of the compression force. The control segmentcontrols the pressure setting segmentbased on the quantification target. As described above, the pressure muscle strength increasing apparatus automatically controls the compression force based on the quantification target.
