Abstract:
1. A muscle stimulator device, comprising: a non-conductive housing having opposing sides, said sides defining depending lower portions; first and second axles each joined in a perpendicular configuration to said opposing lower portions; and at least one wheel joined to the first axle in a rotatable configuration, the wheel readily massaging portions of the human body when brought into contact therewith, at least one wheel joined to the second axle in a rotatable configuration, the wheel readily massaging portions of the human body when brought into contact therewith, wherein the wheels of the first and second axles each comprise at least one electrode for delivering electrical current to the muscles, an electrical circuit contained within the housing configured to selectively generate and deliver to the electrodes an electrical current for providing a stimulating effect to the muscles, wherein the electrical circuit extends along the first and second axles from one depending lower portion to the other depending lower portion, wherein the electrical circuit is formed between the first and second axles, whereby electrical current is delivered to the muscles along the entire area between the at least one electrode on the first axle and the at least one electrode on the second axle when the electrodes are placed in contact with a portion of the human body; and said device includes a third axle positioned between the first and second axles, at least one wheel joined to the third axle in a rotatable configuration, wherein the third axle is not part of the electrical circuit.
