1. An electrical stimulator system for augmenting recovery from muscle denervation, the electrical stimulator system comprising:

  • a first electrode adjacent a proximal stump of a nerve and for emitting a signal having at least one variable parameter;

    a second electrode providing a return path for the signal;

    an electronic assembly for generating the signal;

    the first electrode, the second electrode, and the electronic assembly adapted to be positioned within the body; and

    said signal propagating through electrically conductive tissues of the body and evoking an action potential in at least one motor axon, the motor axon regenerating from the proximal stump, so as to augment recovery from muscle denervation.
