ABSTRACT:
A method and device are disclosed for using electrochemistry to build and strengthen muscles by applying pulses of DC electrical charge, at a duration in the range of about 0.2 to about 1 millisecond and a frequency of at least 1000 Hertz, to the skin by means of an anodic probe overlying the motor endplate regions
euromuscular junctions of the muscle at such a strength to cause the muscle to twitch or only slightly contract with each pulse. The DC is applied at current amplitude of from about 5 to about 25 milliamperes, and a voltage in the range of about 50 to about 120 volts. A DC power source is used to deliver the electrical charge, preferably of at least 3 watts.
