Method and apparatus for electromagnetic stimulation of nerve, muscle, and body tissues

A system for the electromagnetic stimulation of living tissue comprising:

• an appliance having interior and exterior coverings, wherein said appliance is ergonomically designed, flexible, and electrically insulated, in which are disposed
• a plurality of wires disposed between said interior and exterior coverings, each wire having first and second ends, said first and second ends are connected to
• first and second conductive interface structures respectively, whereby, when said first and second interface structures are joined together, said wires are connected in such a way as to form at least one
• transducer, wherein said transducer is a solenoid,
• a control apparatus, controlling an electrical current flowing through said transducer, thereby inducing a pulsed electromagnetic field,
• wherein said appliance has a central diameter wide enough to surround at least part of a body through said solenoid,
• wherein said solenoid is substantially coaxial with said appliance, and
• wherein said appliance is adapted to comply with the contours of at least part of a living organism, whereby said electromagnetic field may be induced within the tissues of said organism.

An apparatus for the electromagnetic stimulation of living tissue comprising:

• an appliance, wherein said appliance is ergonomically designed, flexible, and electrically insulated,
• at least one clearly visible marking disposed on said appliance so as to facilitate repeatable alignment of said appliance with at least a targeted part of a patient's body
• a plurality of wires disposed within said appliance, each wire having first and second ends, said first and second ends are connected to
• first and second conductive interface structures respectively, whereby, when said first and second interface structures are joined together, said wires are connected in such a way as to form at least one
• transducer, wherein said transducer is a solenoid, connected to
• a communications tether, connected to, and whereby
• an external logic control console controls an electric current flowing through said transducers, wherein said current induces a pulsed electromagnetic field,
• wherein said transducer is disposed coaxially with and substantially integrally in said appliance,
• wherein said appliance has a central diameter wide enough to allow the introduction of at least said targeted part of said patient's body through said solenoid,
• wherein said appliance is adapted to comply with the contours of at least part of a human being, whereby an electromagnetic field may be induced within the tissues of said human being.
