Abstract:
An electrical stimulation device for applying electrical stimulus to parts of a living body comprising:a pair of applicators adapted to each contact the living body, said applicators each including electrically conductive material covered by electrically insulating material whereby the electrically conductive material is separated from the living body by the electrically insulating material when the applicators contact the living body; a signal generator having a pair of output terminals and adapted to generate an electrical signal between the output terminals to be applied to the living body through the applicators, wherein the electrical signal is a series of positive electrical pulses with a frequency in the range of 40 to 100 Hertz and has a voltage in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 volts and electrical conductors connecting respective separate terminals of the pair of signal generator terminals to respective separate applicators of the pair of applicators to supply the electrical signal generated by the signal generator to the applicators.
