Musculoskeletal apparatus, methods, and systems operable to administer energy prescriptions and verify their efficacy

A system comprising:

• a brace that is wearable on a limb, the brace comprising frames and one or more living hinges operable to guide and support movements of a muscoskeletal joint of the limb by limiting rotational movements of the muscoskeletal joint when the brace is worn;
• a plurality of multi-energy generators that are attachable to the brace and positionable at different treatment sites about the muscoskeletal joint when the brace is worn, each multi-energy generator of the plurality of multi-energy generators comprising:
• a plurality of generator elements operable to output a plurality of different energy types in a signal direction toward the muscoskeletal joint at one treatment site of the different treatment sites, each generator element of the plurality of generator elements being independently operable to output one energy type of the plurality of different energy types, and
• a heat sink that dissipates excess heat generated from the plurality of generator elements into air surrounding the limb;
• and
• a lattice structure comprising a plurality of cords, a plurality of nodes, and a plurality of openings,
• the plurality of cords forming an elastic open framework that structurally interconnects the plurality of nodes to one another and the frame,
• the plurality of nodes containing the plurality of multi-energy generators and being operable with the plurality of cords to attach the plurality of multi-energy generators to the frames and, when the brace is worn, to press the plurality of multi-energy generators toward the different treatment sites during the movements of the muscoskeletal joint,
• the plurality of openings being located between the plurality of nodes.

• the plurality of nodes containing the plurality of multi-energy generators and being operable with the plurality of cords to attach the plurality of multi-energy generators to the frames and, when the brace is worn, to press skin-facing sides of the plurality of multi-energy generators toward the different treatment sites during the movements of the muscoskeletal joint,
• the plurality of openings being located between the plurality of nodes and sized to permit injection of a treatment fluid into the muscoskeletal joint at locations below the different treatment sites when the brace is worn,
• an exterior surface of each node of the plurality of nodes being operable with a needle to inject the treatment fluid into the locations through one or more openings of the plurality of openings without removing the brace.
