Method and apparatus for treating and preventing leg cramps and other muscle contractions and sleep disorders

摘要

Method and Apparatus for Treating and Preventing Leg Cramps and other Muscle Contractions and Sleep Disorders (EX-Cramp--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--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.
