Abstract
A treatment apparatus configured to provide electrical stimulation to a leg of a user is provided. The treatment apparatus includes an inner layer configured to contact the leg of the user and configured to couple to an electrical stimulus, a retainer fixedly connected to the inner layer, and a fabric layer coupled to the inner layer, the fabric layer configured to releasably couple to the retainer to secure the electrical stimulus against the leg of the user.
Claims20
A treatment apparatus configured to provide electrical stimulation to a leg of a user, the treatment apparatus comprising:
- an inner layer configured to contact the leg of the user and configured to couple to an electrical stimulus;
- a retainer fixedly connected to the inner layer;
- and
- a fabric layer coupled to the inner layer, the fabric layer configured to releasably couple to the retainer to secure the electrical stimulus against the leg of the user.
An electrical stimulation system for providing electrical stimulation to a user, said system comprising:
- an electrical stimulator configured to provide an electrical stimulus to the user;
- and
- a treatment apparatus configured to couple to the electrical stimulator and substantially retain the electrical stimulator adjacent the user, the treatment apparatus comprising:
- an inner layer configured to contact the skin of the user and configured to couple to a portion of the electrical stimulator;
- a retainer fixedly connected to the inner layer;
- and
- a fabric layer coupled to the inner layer, the fabric layer configured to releasably couple to the retainer to secure a portion of the electrical stimulator against the skin of the user.
A method of providing electrical stimulation to a user, said method comprising:
- providing an electrical stimulator configured to provide an electrical stimulus to the user;
- providing a treatment apparatus comprising an inner layer configured to contact the skin of the user, a retainer fixedly connected to the inner layer, and a fabric layer coupled to the inner layer, the fabric layer configured to releasably couple to the retainer;
- coupling a portion of the electrical stimulator to the treatment apparatus;
- contacting the skin of the user with a portion of the electrical stimulator and the treatment apparatus;
- and
- coupling the retainer to the fabric layer to retain a portion of the electrical stimulator against the skin of the user.
