ABSTRACT:
A neuromuscular stimulation apparatus and procedure, which employs multiple channels of stimulation for the purpose of supplying directional control of blood flow in addition to augmenting the force of contraction. The apparatus comprises multiple channel stimulation electrodes and a multiple channel cardiosynchronous stimulator to selectively stimulate various sections of the skeletal muscle. The amplitudes of the stimulation pulses and the time delay following a cardiac event may be selected for each channel to appropriately stimulate the muscle to control the order of contraction of particular muscle fibers and thereby to govern the direction of blood flow.
