AI summary

An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method of determining muscle efficiency and inefficiency in a patient or subject and being able to quantitatively determine measurements that communicate between practitioners the condition, the health, and the efficiency state of any muscle. The efficiency of a muscle is defined by the ability of the brain to bridge a proper communication to the muscle by sending normal action potentials; the bridge is often compromised during injury, improper training, or from poor habits of bodily movement. The standardization of these efficiencies allows for the isolation of particular areas of the muscles that are inefficient and efficient. Further, with varied application of specific electrical pulses, a bridge that mimics the natural action potential is provided and can enhance muscle efficiency in a way that achieves higher levels of success in bodily healing and physical training than in any prior art. The current invention uses multiple, select sets of electrical currents at sound wave frequencies and used in conjunction with specific forms of movements. The application of electrical currents can also be synchronized with extensions and contractions of muscles to stimulate the expedited bridging of brain to muscle connection and increase the efficiency of muscles. The current invention standardizes these techniques to reconnect the brain to these muscles.
