Claim Text:
1. A tissue stimulator, comprising: a solenoid device sized and shaped to surround a body part and having a wall with a thickness, an axial dimension and an opening with a maximum opening dimension; at least a portion of the wall being shaped to conform to a shape of the body part, the solenoid device having a multi-turn winding that encircles the body part; an energization device configured to pass current pulses of at least 1000 amperes through the winding to generate magnetic field pulses and thereby generate deep tissue electrical field pulses within the tissue of the body part; the axial dimension being greater on a first radial side of the winding than a second opposite side, such that an intensity of the electrical field generated in the tissue of the body part proximate the first side, whose turns are effectively fanned out relative to the second side, is less than the intensity of the electric field generated in the tissue of the body part proximate the second side upon the passing.
