METHOD FOR FEET VIBRO-MASSAGE AND INSOLE FOR IMPLEMENTING IT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61H1/00 A61H23/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: feet vibro-massage is performed with the use of a piezoelectric transducer mounted in an insole put on feet. The piezoelectric transducer is alternatively activated in a vibration mode by supplying an alternating electrical excitation signal and in an electrical signal generation mode actuated by a foot pressing on the piezoelectric transducer. The piezoelectric transducer is switched from the electrical signal generation mode to the vibration mode, provided the above electrical signal generated by the foot pressure on the piezoelectric transducer is less than the specified value. The insole is designed for implementing the method; it comprises at least one piezoelectric transducer configured to operate in the mechanic vibration generation mode to give the feet vibro-massage, when supplying the alternating electrical excitation signal on the piezoelectric transducer, and in the electrical signal generation mode actuated by the foot pressure on the piezoelectric transducer.

EFFECT: inventions enable providing the automatic switching on and off of the vibrators depending on varying the individual's physical activity type, simplifying facilities designed for implementing the method.
