Abstract:
In a first aspect, a system for prevention of muscle atrophy is presented. The system includes an attachable device. The attachable device includes at least one electrode configured to stimulate a portion of a leg of a subject. The attachable device includes an air bladder configured to apply pressure to the portion of a leg of a subject. The attachable device includes an air inlet port fluidically connected to the air bladder. The controller includes a compression pump. The stimulation unit includes at least one air tube connecting an outlet of the compression pump to the air inlet port of the attachable device. The controller includes a stimulation unit. The stimulation unit is configured to stimulate at least a portion of a leg of a subject.

Abstract:
A functional electrical stimulation step and stand system comprising two footplates (left and right) connected to a primary drive motor that cause the footplates to move in a reciprocal motion. The footplates are further connected to corresponding servos, which allow for control of the movement of the footplate with respect to an axis. System comprises an electrical stimulation control unit. The stimulation step and stand system further comprises a control unit that has electrical stimulation leads connected to electrode that deliver an electrical impulse to a patient's muscles. In a further embodiment, the control unit has one or more wireless stimulators.
