1. A neuromodulation system for inducing locomotor activity in a mammal, the neuromodulation system comprising:
- a processor;
a signal generator communicatively coupled to the processor;
at least one electromyography electrode communicatively coupled to the processor;
at least two electrodes electrically coupled to the signal generator; and
a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor, in cooperation with the signal generator and the at least two electrodes, to deliver a continuous therapeutic signal having parameter values including a 0.5 Hz to 100 Hz waveform with an overlapping high frequency pulse at 5 kHz to 10 kHz delivered at 30-200 mA to the mammal,wherein the at least one electromyography electrode measures a response related to delivery of the continuous therapeutic signal to the mammal, andwherein the processor is configured to synchronize the parameter values of the continuous therapeutic signal with the response measured by the at least one electromyography electrode and store to the memory the synchronization for selection of new parameter values to deliver a subsequent continuous therapeutic signal.

18. A neuromodulation system comprising:
-
a processor; a first signal generator communicatively coupled to the processor; a second signal generator communicatively coupled to the processor; at least one electromyography electrode communicatively coupled to the processor; at least two electrodes electrically coupled to at least one of the first signal generator and the second signal generator; and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor, in cooperation with the first signal generator, the second signal generator, and the at least two electrodes, to deliver a secondary high frequency electric pulse having a first parameter value of 10 kHz, which overlaps with a continuous therapeutic primary biphasic low frequency pulse delivered having a second parameter value of 0.5 Hz to 100 Hz resulting in less skin impedance and pain free stimulation, wherein the continuous therapeutic primary biphasic low frequency pulse is delivered at a third parameter value of 30-200 mA, wherein the at least one electromyography electrode measures a response related to delivery of the continuous therapeutic primary biphasic low frequency pulse and the secondary high frequency electric pulse to the mammal, and wherein the processor is configured to synchronize the parameter values of the secondary high frequency electric pulse and the continuous therapeutic primary biphasic low frequency pulse with the response measured by the at least one electromyography electrode and store to the memory the synchronization for selection of new parameter values to deliver at least one of a subsequent primary biphasic low frequency pulse and a subsequent secondary high frequency electric pulse. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
