Abstract
In a method for stimulation and treatment, a biological structure is stimulated by a high power time-varying magnetic field. The stimulation is followed by at least a partial muscle contraction. The methods can be used e.g. in physiotherapy, urology or urogynecology.
Claims31
1-30. (canceled)
A method for a stimulation of a biological structure including:
- a. placing a magnetic applicator proximate to at least a part of the patient's body;
- b. transferring a magnetic stimulation signal from the magnetic applicator to a target biological structure;
- c. generating an active response of the target biological structure wherein a repetition rate is at least 50 Hz, and a magnetic flux density is at least 0.5 T to cause (weakened) muscle exercising.
A method for a stimulation of a biological structure including:
- a. placing a magnetic applicator proximate to at least a part of the patient's body;
- b. transferring a modulated magnetic stimulation signal to a target biological structure;
- c. generating an action potential in the target biological structure wherein a repetition rate is at least 50 Hz.
A method for a stimulation of a biological structure including:
- a. placing a magnetic applicator proximate to at least a part of the patient's body;
- b. transferring a magnetic stimulation signal to a target biological structure;
- c. generating an action potential in the target biological structure wherein a repetition rate is at least 100 Hz;
- and
- wherein the stimulation causes myorelaxation effect.
