Electro-therapeutic stimulation
DCFirst Claim
1. A method of electro-therapeutic diagnosis to determine a location of cellular disruption in muscle tissue of a conscious living patient, comprising:
- transdermally applying an electric diagnosis signal by placement of at least a first electrode and a second electrode on the patient'"'"'s skin, the electric diagnosis signal having a waveform comprising;
a periodic-exponential background pulse at a frequency of 1 to 1000 kilohertz;
moving the first electrode across the patient'"'"'s skin while the second electrode is placed at a stationary anchor location, thereby locating a first cellular disruption end point where a sensation felt by the patient associated with the background pulse is maximized; and
while the first electrode is at the first cellular disruption end point, moving the second electrode across the patient'"'"'s skin, thereby locating an opposing cellular disruption end point where the sensation felt by the patient associated with the background pulse is maximized; and
prior to applying the electric diagnosis signal, performing an electro-therapeutic adjustment across the patient'"'"'s right and left hip flexors, wherein the electro-therapeutic adjustment comprises;
placing first and second electrodes of a first electrode pair on the patient'"'"'s skin, with the first electrode of the first electrode pair positioned on the patient'"'"'s inner left thigh near a terminal end of the patient'"'"'s left hip flexor and the second electrode of the first electrode pair positioned on the patient'"'"'s back;
placing first and second electrodes of a second electrode pair on the patient'"'"'s skin, with the first electrode of the second electrode pair positioned on the patient'"'"'s inner right thigh near a terminal end of the patient'"'"'s right hip flexor and the second electrode of the second electrode pair positioned on the patient'"'"'s back;
transdermally applying an electric adjustment signal across both electrode pairs, the electric adjustment signal comprising;
a background pulse; and
a main pulse having a power level which is controllable;
during application of the electric adjustment signal, having the patient perform repetitions of movements.

Abstract
A method of electro-therapeutic stimulation uses an electrical signal with a periodic-exponential background pulse over a controllable periodic-exponential main pulse. By properly setting the signal and moving electrodes to proper locations on the body, the signal is used to electro-therapeutically mimic a cross-crawl pattern and return a patient to a state of neurological balance, to identify specific cellular disruption locations, to treat the identified cellular disruption locations including performing a pain associated movement, and to neurologically train from a facilitator muscle to one or more receiver muscles.
