Systems and methods for therapeutic electrical stimulation
First Claim
1. A patch configured to mate with a therapeutic electrical stimulation device, comprising:
- a shoe connected to a first side of the patch, the shoe including a first end and a second end, and a body extending in a longitudinal direction from the first end to the second end, and having first and second surfaces, the first end of the shoe defining at least one port, and the first surface of the shoe defining a connection member; and
at least one conductor positioned in the at least one port of the first end of the shoe, the at least one conductor being electrically connected to at least one electrode;
wherein the shoe is configured for sliding insertion into a receptacle defined by a controller of the therapeutic electrical stimulation device so that the at least one conductor is connected to the controller to deliver electrical current from the controller, through the at least one conductor, and to the at least one electrode, andwherein the connection member is configured to displace a non-conductive detent defined by the controller and to be at least partially captured by the detent to retain the shoe within the receptacle.

Abstract
A patch for a therapeutic electrical stimulation device includes a shoe connected to the first side of the patch, the shoe including a body extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end, and having first and second surfaces, the first end of the shoe defining at least two ports, and the first surface of the shoe defining a connection member. The patch also includes at least one conductor positioned in the ports of the first end of the shoe. The shoe is configured for sliding insertion into a receptacle defined by a controller so that the conductor is connected to the controller to deliver electrical current from the controller, through the conductor, and to the electrodes, and the connection member is at least partially captured by a detent defined by the controller in the receptacle to retain the shoe within the receptacle.

7. A system for delivering therapeutic electrical stimulation, the system including a controller comprising:
-
a power source including a rechargeable battery; an electrical signal generator powered by the power source and generating an electrical signal, a patch including a first portion and a second portion; and a receptacle including at least one conductor, the at least one conductor being electrically coupled to the electrical signal generator to receive the electrical signal, the receptacle arranged and configured to receive the first portion of the patch to electrically couple the first portion of the patch with the at least one conductor, the receptacle defining a non-conductive detent positioned to be displaced by the second portion of the patch and to capture the second portion of the patch to retain the first portion within the receptacle. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
