PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostimulator and an electric stimulation method capable of giving an electric stimulus in a wide range.SOLUTION: An electrostimulator 1 includes an electrode group 10 having four or more electrodes, driving means 20 for giving energy to the electrode group 10, and a garment 30 in which the electrode group 10 is arranged at predetermined positions. With one electrode of the electrode group 10 as a first polarity, and a plurality of remaining electrodes as a second polarity, the driving means 20 sequentially switches the electrode as a first polarity, and gives energy to the electrode group 10.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】広い範囲に電気的刺激を与えることができる電気刺激装置及び電気刺激方法を提供する。【解決手段】電気刺激装置１は、４つ以上の電極を有する電極群１０と、この電極群１０にエネルギーを与える駆動手段２０と、電極群１０が所定の位置に配置された衣類３０とを備えている。駆動手段２０は、電極群１０のうち１つの電極を第１極性、残りの電極を第２極性とし、第１極性とする電極を順番に切り替えて電極群１０にエネルギーを与えるように構成されている。【選択図】図１
