ABSTRACT:
A method is set forth to detect, monitor, predetermine, and record a patient's skin sensitivity to electrical stimulation to determine an individual patient's threshold sensitivity to such stimulation. A first application of the invention utilizes a plurality of operators, wherein a first operator manually increases electrical current to an associated patient directed to the patient through an electrode, while the second operator records and charts the response of the aforenoted patient. A further version of the invention utilizes a single operator, wherein a tape recorder to effect recording or response of a patient relative to a stimulating electrical current directed to the patient through an amplified circuit is utilized. A further version of the invention utilizes an automatic step generator to direct current to the patient, wherein the patient utilizes an on/off switch to effect cessations of current subsequent to a threshold of skin sensitivity being attained.
