Claim 18:
19. A method performed by an apparatus configured for therapeutic electrical stimulation of a patient, the apparatus comprising a set of at least three electrodes for contacting an exterior part of the body of a patient on the exterior part of the body of the patient, the method comprising:
providing an electrical stimulation signal as a Direct Current (DC) pulse train at a frequency of between 10 kHz and 50 kHz; and
sequentially activating individual subsets of the electrodes in the set of electrodes via the electrical stimulation signal, the individual subsets comprising at least a first subset and a second subset, and each subset containing a unique combination of at least two of the electrodes contained in the set of electrodes, with at least one electrode contained in each subset activated as a signal source for the electrical stimulation signal and at least one other electrode contained in each subset activated as signal sink for the electrical stimulation signal.
