Provided is a clothing for electrical stimulation that may apply electrical stimulation to a user's body without a separate power source and may strengthen the strength of electrical stimulation applied to the body. The clothing for electrical stimulation includes: a main body including a first clothing region clothing a user's sole and a second clothing region worn on a body part other than the user's sole; a first conductor located on an inner surface of the main body and disposed to be in contact with the user's body; and a second conductor electrically connected to the first conductor and located on an outer surface of the main body.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to electrode arrangements. In one example electrode arrangement, the arrangement includes an electrically conductive electrode, an electrically conductive thermoadhesive, and an electrode carrier. The electrode carrier is provided in the form of a flat material piece consisting of a textile or non-textile material. The electrode carrier is connected on one side to the electrically conductive electrode and the electrically conductive thermoadhesive being in contact with an opposite side of the electrode carrier. The electrode and the thermoadhesive are electrically conductively connected to form an electrical connection

A flexible sheet for neurostimulation has a flexible non-conductive substrate matrix in which electrodes are embedded along a lower surface. Electrically conductive wires extend from the electrodes through the flexible substrate to another exterior surface of the substrate. Methods of making the flexible sheet and making a device using the flexible sheet are also disclosed.

A flexible anchor member comprising a member for placement about a body part; at least one substantially inextensible textile element circumscribing the member and secured to itself or the member; and a force transfer coupler coupling a portion of the at least one substantially inextensible textile element to an actuator such that the substantially inextensible textile element constricts about the member for a duration of an applied force. Another flexible anchor member comprising an outer member including a substantially inextensible textile material configured for directing a force applied by an actuator to act upon all or a portion of the body part; an inner member for positioning between the body part and the outer member, a first surface of the inner member configured for frictionally engaging the body part or intervening clothing; and at least one coupler for coupling the outer member and the inner member.

A neuromuscular stimulation device is described having a plastic casing housing a printed circuit board bearing control electronics, with the casing including an external integral flexible portion which is capable of being flexed into the interior of the casing so as to cause an electrically insulative substrate on which is carried an electrically conductive pathway to be pushed into contact with the PCB in order to complete an electrical circuit. Such a switch is relatively inexpensive to produce, as it has few moving parts, can be formed in a usual manufacturing process, and is robust.

A garment is wearable on an anatomical region and includes electrodes contacting the anatomical region when the garment is worn on the anatomical region. An electronic controller is configured to detect electromyography (EMG) signals as a function of anatomical location and time using the electrodes, and identify tremors as a function of anatomical location and time based on the EMG signals.

Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of peripheral neuropathies.

Methods and systems for treating sleep apnea using electrical stimulation to a patient's upper and/or lower respiratory nerve or muscle are described. A stimulation regimen can be used to achieve upper airway patency and/or rhythmic air flow in a coordinated fashion during sleep. In some cases, diaphragm activity is monitored to determine whether sufficient upper airway patency and/or rhythmic air flow is achieved and maintained. The stimulation regimen may be adjusted based on the diaphragm activity. In some cases, the system includes modularized components so that the components can be customized to an individual's needs.

A system for stimulating a muscle of a user, the system comprising: a stimulating unit comprising (i) at least two electrodes configured to be placed in electrical contact with skin of a user in a vicinity of the muscle, and (ii) a pulse generator configured to generate an electrical pulse for application to the muscle through the at least two electrodes; a sensing unit comprising at least one sensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of the user and generate a sensing signal in response thereto; and a control processor operatively coupled to the stimulating unit and to the sensing unit and configured to receive the sensing signal from the at least one sensor and change a parameter of the electrical pulse applied by the at least two electrodes in response to the sensing signal.

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.
