Muscle Injury Prevention and Muscle Strengthening System

A muscle injury prevention and muscle strengthening system has an electrode harness, a controller, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes, and an environmental sensor. The electrode harness secures around the patient's body holding the EMS electrodes in contact with the patient's body. The EMS electrodes send targeted electrical pulses at the motor nerves of the patient. The environmental sensor observes responses from the patient while monitoring external environmental factors. The environmental sensors range from EMG sensors to location sensors to gather important information about the patient and the environment. The controller manages the operation of the electrical components of the present invention. The present invention is fastened securely to the patient throughout all exercises and activities to properly stimulate the patient and gather responses from the patient.

DEVICE FOR EFFECTIVE NON-INVASIVE DESYNCHRONIZING NEUROSTIMULATION
20170333711 · 2017-11-23 ·

A device that suppresses a pathological synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity, and includes a non-invasive stimulation for stimulation, using stimuli, of neurons in the patient's brain and/or spinal cord, where those neurons are showing pathologically synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity, and the stimuli are designed to suppress are this activity when administered to the patient. Moreover, a measuring unit records measurement signals reflecting the neuron activity of the stimulated neurons and a control and analysis unit controls the stimulation unit to administer stimuli, check the success of stimulation based on the measurement, and, if the stimulation success is not sufficient, insert one or more stimulation breaks in the application of the stimuli or extend one or more stimulation breaks, where no stimuli that could suppress the pathological synchronous and oscillatory neuron activity are applied during the stimulation breaks.
