1. An electrical stimulation system for applying a stimulation signal to a human user, said system comprising:

  • stimulation means for generating modulated electrical signals having a waveform of predetermined amplitude and therapeutic frequency;

    support means removably attachable to a human user for carrying said stimulation means in proximity to said human user, said support means including a connection means for physically and electrically connecting said stimulation means to said support means;

    a plurality of electrode pads of a predetermined size disposed on said support means so as to be positioned against the skin of said user when the support means is in position on the user; and

    said connection means electrically connecting the stimulation means to the electrode pads when the stimulation means is connected to the support means;

    said connection means including a plurality of keyed connectors, the keyed connectors being configured to be representative of said size of the electrode pads, said stimulation means including a plurality of output connectors for engaging with said keyed connectors, said stimulation means including means for modifying the electrical signals in response to the configuration of the keyed connectors so as to match the impedance of said electrode pads.
