Approaches for portably and discreetly treating muscle cramping using one or more of a selectively controllable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit and a heating element comprising resistive fabric. Cramping of the muscle may be detected with a surface electromyography (sEMG) unit. Artificial intelligence techniques may be applied using the sEMG signals and/or user input to identify effective treatment settings.

A patch for a therapeutic electrical stimulation device includes a shoe connected to the first side of the patch, the shoe including a body extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end, and having first and second surfaces, the first end of the shoe defining at least two ports, and the first surface of the shoe defining a connection member. The patch also includes at least one conductor positioned in the ports of the first end of the shoe. The shoe is configured for sliding insertion into a receptacle defined by a controller so that the conductor is connected to the controller to deliver electrical current from the controller, through the conductor, and to the electrodes, and the connection member is at least partially captured by a detent defined by the controller in the receptacle to retain the shoe within the receptacle.

A system and method of eliciting a swallowing reflex in a human subject. Stimulation signals are generated for eliciting a full swallowing reflex when applied to skin overlying a region of thyroid cartilage in the neck. The stimulation signals delivered via surface electrodes to the skin overlying at least the region of thyroid cartilage in the neck to elicit the full swallowing reflex in the human subject.

A current stimulation apparatus that includes a waveform generator to output an electric signal; a control section to control the waveform generator; a set of electrodes to provide the output electric signal; and a power supply section to supply electric power to the waveform generator and the control section, where the electric signal is a fifth electric signal including: a first electric signal having an amplitude increasing from a first amplitude, the first amplitude being not zero; a second electric signal having a second amplitude and being output after the first electric signal; a third electric signal having an amplitude decreasing to a third amplitude, the third electric signal being output after the second electric signal; and a fourth electric signal having a fourth amplitude, the fourth amplitude being not zero.

The system of neurorehabilitation and the method of neurorehabilitation belongs to the medical field, specifically to neurology, and can be used as a system and method of neurorehabilitation during motor rehabilitation of patients after a stroke in various phases, as well as during the rehabilitation of patients with other diseases and disorders of the central nervous system. The objective of the claimed invention is the motor (movement) rehabilitation of patients after stroke and other diseases of the central nervous system that cause motor deficits in the limbs. The technical result of the invention is to increase the effectiveness of rehabilitation, including during early and late rehabilitation period of stroke and other diseases and disorders of the central nervous system through the use of the system and method of neurorehabilitation and methods of this invention, which stimulate the restoration of mobility of paralyzed limbs by forming neural biofeedback connections between the patient's intention to move the limb and its implementation.

An apparatus and methods are provided for a conductive eye mask that may be used in conjunction with a handheld electrostimulation skin treatment device for skin toning and firming. The conductive eye mask comprises an eye mask for being applied around the eyes of a practitioner. Electrode pads are attached to an underside of the eye mask such that each of the electrode pads at least partially surrounds each of the practitioner's eyes. The electrode pads include an adhesive for attaching to the skin of the practitioner. An electric connector is coupled with each of the electrode pads. The electric connectors are configured to be plugged into accessory connectors comprising the electrostimulation skin treatment device for sending a microcurrent to the electrode pads to tone and firm the skin and muscles surrounding the practitioner's eyes.

A neck-hanging massaging device includes an elastic arm, a first handle, a second handle, an electrode assembly and an electric pulse generating device. The first handle and the second handle are fixedly connected to the two sides of the elastic arm. The electrode assembly is arranged on the elastic arm. The electric pulse generating device is electrically connected with the electrode assembly. The electric pulse generating device is arranged in the first handle.

A system and method for pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) tissue engineering enhances musculoskeletal tissue stimulation. A tissue engineering device may include both low and high pulse frequency signal generation components that may alternatively drive one or more coils to generate PEMFs. These PEMFs may be applied to bone tissue, tendons, ligaments, and/or cartilage. A prescribed treatment regimen using the tissue engineering device may include a first period of time where a first pulse frequency is used in treatment that supports tissue proliferation followed by a second period of time where a second pulse frequency (less than the first pulse frequency) is used in treatment that supports tissue differentiation. A treatment regimen may also include, with the frequency characteristic, applying a slew rate to the pulse characteristics that is on the order of around 30 to 100 Tesla per second to drive tissue differentiation in a targeted manner.

A mobility augmentation system monitors a user's motor intent data and augments the user's mobility based on the monitored motor intent data. A machine-learned model is trained to identify an intended movement based on the monitored motor intent data. The machine-learned model may be trained based on generalized or specific motor intent data (e.g., user-specific motor intent data). A machine-learned model initially trained on generalized motor intent data may be re-trained on user-specific motor intent data such that the machine-learned model is optimized to the movements of the user. The system uses the machine-learned model to identify a difference between the user's monitored movement and target movement signals. Based on the identified difference, the system determines actuation signals to augment the user's movement. The actuation signals determined can be an adjustment to a currently applied actuation such that the system optimizes the actuation strategy during application.

A system for an addressable body-worn electrode array, comprising a plurality of electrodes in the array, adapted to support easy and consistent positioning of electrical therapy through the electrodes by the therapist that is retained during therapy.
