Abstract:
An automated adaptive muscle stimulation system and method are disclosed. The stimulation system includes at least one electrode assembly adapted to deliver a muscle stimulation signal to the tissue of a user, a sensor system adapted to detect a muscle response, and an electrical stimulation device operably coupled to the at least on electrode assembly and the sensor system, the electrical stimulation device including a control system operable to automatically diagnose at least one characteristic of a muscle from the detected muscle response and adjust at least one parameter of the muscle stimulation signal in response thereto to deliver an adjusted muscle stimulation signal. A dual mode muscle stimulation system adapted to accept first and second data sets and provide first and second levels of treatment data is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 2):
An automated adaptive transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TENS) system, comprising:\n an electrode assembly having an MI sensor comprising an electrode that provides a stimulation signal and a sensor system that detects a muscle response, the electrode assembly configured to be applied to a user and deliver a stimulation signal to a subcutaneous target tissue of the user; a control system programmed for performing a TENS session, including to:\n deliver a plurality of stimulation signals during the TENS session to the target tissue at an energy level, via the electrode assembly, to stimulate sensory nerves during the TENS session, \n deliver a test signal at an energy level, via the electrode assembly, during the TENS session, \n receive a signal from the MI sensor in response to the test signal, the received signals indicating the onset of a muscle twitch in response to the test signal, and \n in response to the received signal, automatically reduce the energy of delivered stimulation signals down to an energy level of a test signal that no longer elicits a muscle twitch detected by MI sensor.
