Claim Text:
1. In a system for stimulating a peripheral body part associated with a neutral pathway of a vertebrate being, the system including a motor stimulator component configured to induce a pulsed motor stimulation signal on a neural pathway, an apparatus comprising: a peripheral signal providing component configured to provide pulsed peripheral stimulation signals at a peripheral body part for inducing pulsed peripheral signals on the neural pathway; a DC signal providing component configured to provide a constant-level direct current spinal stimulation signal to a neural spinal junction on the neural pathway; and a synchronizer having an I/O component for communication with the motor stimulator component, wherein the synchronizer is configured to provide trigger signals to the motor stimulator component and to the peripheral signal providing component, and is configured to provide the constant-level direct current spinal stimulation signal to the neural spinal junction, and is configured to enable the induced pulsed peripheral stimulation signals and the induced pulsed motor stimulation signal to arrive simultaneously at the neural spinal junction while the constant-level direct current spinal stimulation signal is present at the neural spinal junction.
