An unattended approach can increase the reproducibility and safety of the treatment as the chance of over/under treating of a certain area is significantly decreased. On the other hand, unattended treatment of uneven or rugged areas can be challenging in terms of maintaining proper distance or contact with the treated tissue, mostly on areas which tend to differ from patient to patient (e.g. facial area). Delivering energy via a system of active elements embedded in a flexible pad adhesively attached to the skin offers a possible solution. The unattended approach may include delivering of multiple energies to enhance a visual appearance.

A topical nerve stimulator patch and system are provided comprising a dermal patch; an electrical signal generator associated with the patch; a signal receiver to activate the electrical signal generator; a power source for the electrical signal generator associated with the patch; an electrical signal activation device; and a nerve feedback sensor.

There is described an integrated unweighted gait training system having an unweighting system comprising a computer controller; a gait measurement system in communication with the controller; and a display in communication with the computer controller adapted and configured to provide real-time feedback to a user of the integrated unweighting gait training system. The unweighting system may be a differential air pressure (DAP) unweighting system or a non-DAP unweighting system.

The embodiments and methods described herein relate to an improved functional electrical stimulation (FES) orthosis. An apparatus can include a frame assembly, an electrode assembly, and an electric stimulator. The frame assembly is removably coupleable to a portion of a limb. The electrode assembly is configured to be in electrical communication with a portion of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and includes first and second sets of electrodes. The electric stimulator is in electrical communication with the electrode assembly. The electric stimulator is configured to send a first signal substantially during a first time period and via a first channel to the first set of electrodes for stimulation of a neuromuscular system of the limb, and is configured to send a second signal, during at least one of the first time period or a subsequent second time period, via a second channel to the second set of electrodes for stimulation of the neuromuscular system of the limb.

An electrical stimulation system and method for the treatment of neurological disorders is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the electrical stimulation system includes channels of electrodes positioned in electrical contact with tissue of a neuromuscular target body region of a patient to provide pattered neuromuscular stimulation to the patient's musculature. In addition, at least one electrode from a channel is positioned in electrical contact with a tissue of the motor control region of the brain. A series of patterned electrical pulses are then applied to the patient through the channels to provide peripheral neuromuscular stimulation, and a direct current is applied transcranially to the brain. Various exemplary embodiments of the invention are disclosed.

The human body stimulation apparatus comprises a left detection unit, a right detection unit, a determination unit, a control unit, a right stimulation unit and a left stimulation unit. The detection units generate a detection signal according to a walking motion of a human body. The determination unit divides the walking motion of one walking cycle into multiple walking stages on the basis of the detection signal. The determination unit determines that the walking motion is stopped on the basis of at least one duration time of the walking stages. The control unit controls the magnitude of the stimulation that the right stimulation unit and the left stimulation unit apply to the human body on the basis of the determination results of the determination unit.

A knee brace is provided for monitoring the knee. The knee brace includes a dock for removably receiving a control module. The control module is electrically coupled with the dock when the control module is received in the dock. The knee brace includes a sensor for measuring a physiological state of the wearer. The sensor is electrically coupled to the control module by way of the first conductive path when the control module is received in the dock.

This disclosure provides self-applied wearable devices configured to electrically stimulate a user, generate and/or collect a user's electrophysiological data via electrodes, in contact with the outer layer of skin, that hydrate the skin surface using iontophoresis, reverse iontophoresis, and/or a combination thereof. The wearable devices provided herein increase conductivity and/or move biological ions and/or polar molecules from the electrode into the outer skin layer of skin surface to reduced impedance between the outer skin layer and electrode, wherein the impedance between electrodes is matched and/or minimized. This disclosure also provides systems comprising the same, and methods for making and using the same.

A method of treating a waste evacuation dysfunction comprising administering transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) to at least one lower pelvic and/or sacral region for a specific treatment regimens. Also disclosed is a system for configuring a stimulation device to deliver transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) the system comprising: a computing device storing or having access to a plurality or TES settings and comprising a user interface to enable authorized selection of at least on of the TES settings for provision of TES by the stimulation device according to the at least one selected TES setting and the stimulation device communicatively coupled to the computing device to receive and store the selected at least one TES setting the stimulation device being of a size to be readily carried on a body and configured to selectively provide current to external electrode according to the one TES setting.

A lower body electrical muscle stimulation exercise system for exercising the legs of a paralyzed user which incorporates electrical stimulation of leg muscles. The device is portable, light-weight and functional. The device is placed in front of a user who is sitting in a chair. The user's legs may be placed on moveable leg supports. An electric motor rotates a bicycle crank assembly which moves the legs of a user in a back and forth bending motion. Electrical stimulation is then activated which contracts or relaxes the leg muscles. The stimulation is sequentially activated by a Master Processor and a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) unit. The present invention is designed to stop the deterioration of the leg muscles and restore the functionality of the legs.
