Embodiment Construction

[0130] As stated above, the present invention relates to systems and methods for treating neuromuscular conditions through the application of stimulation, which are described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings. It should also be noted that the figures are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0131] As used herein, "neural communication" includes communication within a nerve or group of nerves, which may include communication with or without impairment.

[0132] As used herein, "neural communication disorder" or "disorder" encompasses any weakening, partial or total destruction, degeneration, or failure of neural communication within a nerve or group of nerves resulting from biological / genetic causes and / or external / mechanical causes , including de novo neurocommunication disorders, hereditary postnatal neurocommunication disorders, trauma-induced neurocommunication disorders, and various dysfunctions associated with them.

[0133] As used herein, "innate neu...

Abstract

A system and a method to treat neural communication impairment are provided. The neural communication impairment is present in a neural pathway, which can be a cortico-neuromuscular pathway, an intra-brain neural pathway, or in a sensory-cortico pathway. A synchronized external stimulation is applied to a first point in proximity to a first neural component at one end of the neural pathway and to a second point in proximity to a second neural component at the other end of the neural pathway. Two induced neural handshake signals contemporaneously arrive at a neural communication impairment point in the neural pathway, triggering and stimulating a rehabilitation process by which the neural connection is permanently improved.; The synchronized applied electrical signals applied to the first and second points may have an opposite polarity in dipolar neural stimulation, or may have identical polarity and waveform in in-phase neural stimulation.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority of US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 316,319, filed March 22, 2010, and PCT / US 10 / 053720, filed October 22, 2010, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference . technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to the field of providing stimulation of central nervous system tissues, muscles, nerves or their combination, and specifically relates to a system and method for improving nerve or neuromuscular communication disorders through multi-point stimulation. Background technique [0004] The nervous system includes the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system consists of all other neurons, ie, nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord. [0005] Nervous system damage can result from traumatic injury, such as penetrating...
