摘要： An apparatus for demonstrating and teaching the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to a human or animal body includes a representation of such body with receptors thereon at different sites thereof corresponding to treatment sites of different pains which could afflict the body, electronic circuits capable of visually indicating locations of pain when switched on, and electronic circuits for visually showing paths of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the body representation when a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is connected to the receptors and is activated. When the correct receptors are connected to T.E.N.S. unit for the treatment of a particular visually indicated pain and the T.E.N.S. unit is turned on the indication of the pain is cancelled. Also disclosed are apparatuses with which the electrical stimulator employed is of a type other than a T.E.N.S. unit, such as bone growth and muscle stimulators. Also within the invention is a method for demonstrating and teaching the application of electrical stimulation to a human or animal body by use of a demonstrating and teaching aid or apparatus which is adapted to be connected to an electrical stimulator.

摘要： A miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit. The unit has a housing attached to a plurality of electrodes. An electronics module containing an electrical circuit is contained within the housing and provides a sequence of monophasic or biphasic pulses to a patient's pain site via the electrodes. The electrodes can be disposable and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The patient may select and control the intensity and the frequency of the pulses by choosing one of several TENS and microcurrent waveforms, as well as the orientation and quantity of the electrodes. The means for supplying power to the electronics module can be integrated with the electrodes in one detachable and disposable assembly. A worn-remote controller can send transmission signals to a receiver within the electronic module thereby allowing the patient to program specific units placed on the patient's body to perform operations in a specified series of waveforms. The electrodes may be embedded in a splint, bandage, brace or cast, where wires or flex-circuit material connect the electrodes to the unit. The electrodes can be arranged in a grid-like manner to allow for programming of a specific firing order which provides for greater therapeutic effect to a pain site, and may also be embedded in adhesive strips, similar to a conventional Band-Aid.
