Adjustable orthosis for electrical stimulation of a limb

摘要

Systems, devices and methods for treating a targeted body tissue (e.g., bone, soft tissue, muscle, ligaments, etc.) by stimulating the body tissue with an electric current are described herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first orthosis member that includes a first electrode. The first orthosis member is configured to be disposed about a first portion of a limb of a user of the apparatus such that the first electrode is in contact with the first portion of the limb. The apparatus includes a second orthosis member that includes a second electrode. The second orthosis member is configured to be disposed about a second portion of the limb such that the second electrode is in contact with the second portion of the limb. A connector is configured to couple the second orthosis member to the first orthosis member and the connector has a selectively adjustable length.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first orthosis member including a first electrode, the first orthosis member configured to be disposed about a first portion of a limb of a user of the apparatus such that the first electrode is in contact with the first portion of the limb; a second orthosis member including a second electrode, the second orthosis member configured to be disposed about a second portion of the limb such that the second electrode is in contact with the second portion of the limb; a connector configured to couple the second orthosis member to the first orthosis member, the connector having a selectively adjustable length and including a first connector member coupled to the first orthosis member and a second connector member coupled to the second orthosis member such that a longitudinal distance between the first orthosis member and the second orthosis member can be adjustably changed; anda visual locator in the form of a mark disposed on the apparatus in alignment with a longitudinal centerline of the first connector member and a longitudinal centerline of the second connector member such that the visual locator can be used to align the apparatus on the limb of the user.
