ABSTRACT:
A muscle energy converter for a patient. The converter includes a casing having a fluid port. The converter includes a bellows mechanism disposed in the casing adapted to contain fluid. The converter includes an actuator arm mechanism adapted to be attached to a tendon of a muscle of the patient which moves against the bellows mechanism when the muscle pulls the actuator arm mechanism and forces fluid out the fluid port. The actuator arm mechanism is engaged with the casing. A method for moving fluid in a patient with a muscle of a patient. The method includes the steps of rotating an actuator arm mechanism against a bellows mechanism in a casing when the muscle pulls the actuator arm mechanism. There is the step of forcing fluid out a fluid port of the casing as the actuator arm mechanism moves against the bellows mechanism.
