1. An apparatus for stimulating contractions of a muscle with reduced fatigue comprising:

  • a. means for providing a train of stimulation pulses at a rate sufficient to produce contraction of said muscle;

    b. a first electrode for electrical coupling to said muscle at a first location;

    c. a second electrode for electrical coupling to said muscle at a second location; and

    d. conducting means coupled to said means for providing a train of stimulation pulses, to said first electrode, and to said second electrode, for conducting one pulse of said train of stimulation pulses to said first electrode and for conducting any next pulse of said train of stimulation pulses to said second electrode, without regard to the timing relationship between said one and next stimulation pulses.
