NON-INVASIVE NEUROMODULATION DEVICE FOR ENABLING RECOVERY OF MOTONEURONAL, SENSORY, AUTONOMIC, SEXUAL, VASOMOTOR AND COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a neuromodulation system to induce motor activity for a neurodegenerative brain injury and a dysfunctional spinal cord accompanying a spinal cord injury.SOLUTION: A neuromodulation system 500 induces motor activity in a mammal by a transcutaneous electrical stimulator 502 delivering signals at 1-100 Hz and 30-200 mA with an overlapping high frequency pulse of 5-10 kHz to a neck, a lower back spinal cord, a lumbosacral portion, a sacral portion, a thoracic spinal cord and a thoracic vertebra between ground electrodes 506, 508 and an active electrode 504 attached to the body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5A
