Portable assemblies, systems, and methods for providing functional or therapeutic neurostimulation

A neurostimulation assembly comprising

• at least one electrode,
• a carrier sized and configured to be worn by a user,
• an electronics pod carried on-board the carrier, the electronics pod including circuitry configured to generate a stimulation pulse to the electrode, a user interface adapted to allow user input to the circuitry to adjust the stimulation pulse, and a visual output of neurostimulation assembly information, wherein the visual output is provided by an illumination source that illuminates at least a portion of the electronics pod, and
• a power input bay carried on-board the carrier that is electrically coupled to the circuitry, the power input bay being sized and configured to hold a power source, the power input bay also providing a communication interface configured to establish a programming link between the circuitry and an external programming device.
