ABSTRACT:
A devise for trophic stimulation of muscles is provided. The device contains a pulse generation circuit that mimics the Motor Unit Action Potentials, MUAP's that are naturally generated when muscles are innervated. The invention provides the basic method for synthesizing the requisite waveform and provides the apparatus for the synthesis. Alternative pulse conditioning circuits are provided; one using a step-up transformer and one using pulse voltage multipliers. The resulting apparatus is safe, relatively painless to use and does not depend upon muscle contraction to achieve a therapeutic result.
