METHOD FOR APPLYING ACTIVE DYNAMIC ELECTRIC STIMULATION OF EXTREMITY MUSCLES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves using Stimul-1 apparatus. Movements applied in manual muscular testing are administered concurrently with current passed through. Initial postures are selected with injured muscle force, measured as a result of manual muscular test, taken into account. 4 points estimation being obtained, movement in articulation is carried out with gravitation force and weighting collar load of 500 g being overcome in standing sitting and lying position. 3 points high estimation being the case, movements are carried out without gravitation force being overcome in sitting position to train lower extremity articulations. 2 points high estimation being obtained, movements are carried out under easier conditions without gravitation force loading in lying initial position. 1 point being the estimation, patient strains muscle in isometric mode in lying initial position.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of rehabilitation treatment; involving earlier idle muscle fibers in work.
