摘要： A continuous passive motion (CPM) apparatus mobilizes the knee joint of a patient's leg. In order to achieve total extension of the leg, the CPM apparatus pauses each time the extension end position is reached. A neuro-muscular stimulator (NMS) is enabled to provide stimulation to the patient's quadriceps muscle to effect a total extension of the leg. At the end of the pause interval, the NMS turns off, and the CPM resumes motion.

摘要： Apparatus for producing an electrical stimulation signal adapted to be applied to a patient's jaw muscle, thereby causing the jaw to open and preventing bruxism. The apparatus includes electrodes positioned to sense an electromyographic (EMG) signal indicative of jaw muscle activity and jaw clenching. A control circuit produces a control signal when the EMG signal exceeds a threshold value indicative of a predetermined level of jaw muscle activity. Stimulator means produce the stimulation signal in the form of a pulse train when triggered by the control signal. The threshold value and intensity of the stimulation signal are adjustable.

摘要： A transcutaneous electrode device permits an electrical signal to be transmitted to or received from an anatomical site of a human patient when that site is covered by an intervening plaster or synthetic cast. The device includes a flange assembly and a collar assembly (which cooperate to capture the cast and define an aperture through the cast) and an electrode tampon assembly (which is inserted through the aperture to provide electrical contact to the anatomical site). The electrode tampon assembly includes an external barrel or carrier which is insertable in the aperture, an electrically conductive medium (such as a sponge saturated with a conductive fluid) carried at the distal end of the barrel, and an electrical connector at the proximal end of the barrel. A coil spring urges the conductive medium into contact with the anatomical site and provides electrical connection between the conductive medium and the electrical connector.
