Abstract
Described herein are therapeutic electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) apparatuses for the increasing weight loss alone or in combination with one or more physical exercises.
Claims20
A method for increasing weight-loss due to exercise, the method comprising:
- positioning an electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) suit apparatus on a patient, the EMS suit apparatus having one or more electrodes locatable in direct contact with the patient's skin;
- sensing patient biometric data before the patient exercises using one or more sensors on the EMS suit apparatus and establishing a threshold based on the patient biometric data;
- supplying stimulation to one or more target muscle groups, via EMS power from the one or more electrodes;
- sensing a patient movement data from the one or more sensors while and/or after the stimulation is supplied while the patient is exercising;
- dynamically adjusting the stimulation or terminating stimulation based on a comparison between the patient movement data and the threshold;
- and
- providing, to the patient, a confirmation of use of the one or more target muscle group based on the patient movement data.
