Abstract:
A multi-parameter bio-electric device for electro-stimulation therapy comprising:a data structure adapted to store at discrete addresses thereof combinations of frequency, dwell time and amplitude;means for selecting a therapy protocol to be delivered over a sweep cycle;means for selecting at least one of frequency or amplitude to be delivered during said sweep period;a processor programmed to, in response to the selected parameters of therapy protocol and said one of frequency or amplitude to store in a data structure a listing of combinations of frequency, dwell time and amplitude to be delivered during a sweep cycle, said processor adapted to issue data signals corresponding to said combination listings for each sweep cycle;a frequency and amplitude generator to receive the data signals and to output signals at frequencies, amplitudes and for the dwell time periods corresponding to said signals; andmeans for applying said output signals to tissue for electro-stimulation thereof.
