Abstract:
1. A vest for providing electrical stimulation, comprising: a front section including a plurality of left front electrodes and a plurality of right front electrodes provided on an interior left surface and an interior right surface of the front section, respectively; a rear section including a plurality of left rear electrodes and a plurality of right rear electrodes provided on an interior left surface and an interior right surface of the rear section; and a controller provided on an exterior surface of the front section for providing respective selectively adjustable electrical pulse signals to the electrodes via respective wires routed over the exterior surface of the front section and an exterior surface of the rear section to the electrodes through respective openings provided in the front and rear sections, wherein the electrodes and the front and rear sections include means for positional adjustment of the electrodes on the interior surfaces of the front and rear sections, and the controller includes a plurality switches for providing selectively adjustable electrical pulse frequency and amplitude signals to the electrodes wherein the switches include digital dual position rotary switches with positions corresponding to the pulse frequency and the pulse amplitude, respectively, and with clockwise and counter clockwise rotations corresponding to electrical values for the pulse frequency and the pulse amplitude signals.
