摘要： The invention provides an electro-therapeutic device for application on a human or animal body part, comprising electrodes (3), a measuring means connected thereto and arranged to measure a value of an electrical quantity, and a control unit (10) to process the measured values, wherein the control unit (10) further comprises pattern recognition means to determine a pattern in the measured values, for example by comparing with patterns stored in a memory unit (15). By means of the determined pattern, the device is able to know its position on the body, and to determine whether this position is suitable for a treatment, and to which electrodes a treatment signal must be supplied. The device is much easier to use since it does not require any user's knowledge about patterns, as this may be stored in the device itself.

The electrical stimulation device comprises:—a matrix of electrodes (120 . . . 140) distributed on an electrode pad (20) being configured to be applied on the human or animal body, the distribution of the electrodes in the matrix being arranged for covering a plurality of the stimulation points of the human or animal,—an electronic circuit (30) being connected to the electrodes of the matrix, and being configured for applying an electrical stimulation signal (TS, PSS, FES) to the electrodes of the matrix, and—feedback means (20, 40, 42) for providing a feedback signal (FS1, FS2, FS3) to the electrical stimulation device in response to the applied electrical stimulation signal. The electrical stimulation device being configured for sequentially applying the electrical stimulation signal to subsets of electrodes of the matrix, and for receiving the feedback signal in response to the applying of the electrical stimulation signal to the subsets of electrodes. The effect of the electrical stimulation device is that the electrical stimulation signal generates some kind of feedback signal which is used in assessing the suitability of the subset of electrodes as an electrical stimulation point of the human or animal. By sequentially applying the electrical stimulation signal to the subsets of electrodes, the suitability of the electrodes of the matrix of electrodes as electrical stimulation point is tested by the electrical stimulation device.
