Abstract
An electrical stimulation device has a sensor for detecting a movement event of a body part and an electrode for making electrical contact with an area of the body part. A controller coupled to the sensor and electrode receives a sensor signal indicating the movement event, and outputs to the electrode an output comprising a rise signal, a stimulation signal and a fall signal. The computer records a duration of use and a number of movement events during the duration of use in a log file. A handheld remote control allows stimulation data to be sent to the device and stored in a stimulation file.

2. An electrical stimulation device for controlling the movement of a body part comprising:
-
a sensor for detecting a movement event of a body part, an electrode for making electrical contact with an area of the body part and for stimulating a muscle of the body part, a housing to be worn by a user of the device, a receiver on the housing for receiving wireless signals from a remote unit, and a controller provided in the housing and coupled to the receiver for receiving stimulation data from the remote unit and storing the stimulation data in a stimulation file, and coupled to the sensor for receiving a sensor signal indicating the movement event, and for generating a control signal using the stimulation file in response to the movement event, and for outputting the control signal to the electrode. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
