ABSTRACT:
Method and Apparatus for Treating and Preventing Leg Cramps and other Muscle Contractions and Sleep Disorders (EX-Cramp.TM.--a device for relieving cramping muscles) is a medical device using the physiologic principle that volitional muscles are placed in opposition for a desired movement to occur: while a muscle contracts, its physiologically opposing muscle must relax. The EX-Cramp.TM.--a device for relieving cramping muscles, monitors a muscle that inappropriately contracts and cramps, and before the cramp occurs, stimulates the physiologically opposing muscle, thereby relaxing and relieving cramping.
