1. A method of treating a patient comprising:
- providing a dialysis device, an electrical stimulator linked to the dialysis device for control of the electrical stimulator by the dialysis device, and a shielding device for preventing electrical interference between the dialysis device and the electrical stimulator;
applying dialysis to the patient; and
during dialysis, applying electrical stimulation to the patient, wherein applying electrical stimulation comprises controlling, by the dialysis device, the electrical stimulator to apply an electrical stimulation program, wherein the electrical stimulation of the patient comprises electrical stimulation of at least one muscle of the patient.

12. A device for carrying out therapeutic stimulation of a patient during dialysis of the patient, comprising:
-
a dialysis device configured to perform dialysis and control application of electrical stimulation; an electrical stimulator physically combined with the dialysis device, the dialysis device and the electrical stimulator are linked together such that the dialysis device controls the electrical stimulator, the dialysis device configured to control the electrical stimulator to carry out electrical stimulation programs during dialysis; a continuous passive motion (CPM) device, the dialysis device further configured to control the CPM to carry out stimulation, and a shielding device between the electrical stimulator and the dialysis device for preventing electrical interference. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
