ELECTRODE APPARATUS FOR MEASURING IMPEDANCE WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY, AND APPARATUS USING SAME FOR MEASURING IMPEDANCE WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY AND PERFORMING TREATMENT
The present invention relates to an electrode device for measuring impedance within a human body, and to an apparatus using the same for measuring impedance within a human body and performing acupuncture treatment using the measured impedance, which can automatically and precisely determine locations of meridians within the human body, form a three-dimensional image of the determined locations, and enable acupuncture treatment to be performed precisely. The electrode device for measuring impedance within a human body comprises: a cylindrical housing member having a guide rod mounted to an open side thereof a cylindrical electrode member configured to be pressed against the skin of a human body and moved back and forth through the open side along the guide rod and a resilient member interposed between the cylindrical electrode member and the cylindrical housing member to resiliently move the cylindrical electrode member back and forth along the guide rod.
