ABSTRACT:
A multi-mode electrical therapeutic stimulation system. The system includes circuitry for providing interferential stimulation, muscle stimulation, and pulsed DC stimulation with an automatic switchover of electrode configurations between types of interferential and muscle stimulation without the need to manually alter the positioning of the stimulation electrodes. In one embodiment, the system includes a simplified five-button user interface with pre-programmed user display screens and an operator interface through which a medical professional can alter settings, programs, and user configurations. In another embodiment, the system can also include a recharging/docking station having a built-in charging device and data port, providing for an automatic/periodic upload of compliance data from the device when the stimulator is placed in a modem cradle. A method for managing patient care associated with a patient-administered external medical device is also disclosed.
