Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for automated optimization of muscle stimulation energy. In some embodiments the disclosure optimizes stimulation parameters and/or stimulation location.
Claims8
A method of electrically stimulating a muscle of a patient, comprising:
- sensing electrical energy delivered to a muscle from an external electrical energy source, wherein the sensing step comprises sensing electrical energy at a sensing region that is different than a stimulation region at which the electrical energy is delivered to the muscle;
- applying an electrical muscle stimulating signal to the muscle to stimulate the muscle, wherein at least one parameter of the electrical muscle stimulating signal is based on the sensed electrical energy delivered from the external energy source.
