Abstract:
1. A system for treating arthritis, comprising: a) at least one joint stabilizing assembly for providing relief from arthritis; b) at least one signal transmission element engagement member operatively connected to said at least one joint stabilizing assembly for connecting a signal transmission element; c) at least one signal transmission element supported by said at least one signal transmission element engagement member; d) an electrostimulation unit, electrically connected to said at least one signal transmission element, for producing at least one signal for improving the overall function of an arthritic joint, said electrostimulation unit used in conjunction with said at least one joint stabilizing assembly to provide a synergistic effect, which results in optimized joint treatment versus using either the at least one joint stabilizing assembly or electrostimulation unit alone; said at least one joint stabilizing assembly including an integral receptacle configured to receive said electrostimulation unit, wherein when said electrostimulation unit is received within said receptacle a connection is made both mechanically and electrically.
