ABSTRACT:
An apparatus provides relief from osteoporosis, through either prevention of its development or reversal of its presence, by utilizing a light-weight portable low intensity, low frequency electrical field specifically targeted for osteoporotic of hips and spine, thereby reducing the growing numbers of hip and vertebral fractures in our aging population. The apparatus is simple to utilize, safe, of inexpensive construction, convenient to use, and may be incorporated permanently within a specific designer line of clothing made for this purpose, or the device may be portable and adaptable to a variety of clothing which the wearer may choose, as that person's fashion preferences may dictate. The hip areas of the official pants are padded to absorb energy if the wearer accidentally falls onto either hip, decreasing the likelihood of a hip fracture. Electrode placements are discussed, for proper positioning of the electromagnetic fields; also addressed are the design of the clothing incorporating this osteoporosis-relief system, and the design of the spine electrode "envelopes".
