Abstract: System, device and method for providing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to muscles of foot. The device includes an electrical signal generator for producing a wave pattern of variable frequency, duration, intensity, ramp time and on-off cycle. Device further includes surface electrodes for being positioned over the foot muscles or around ankles and attached to signal generator. Signal generator is programmed to stimulate the foot muscles and nerves. Location of the electrodes and the programming are adjusted to reduce pooling of the blood in the soleal veins of the calf and enhance venous blood flow to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), to enhance venous blood flow for the post-thrombotic syndrome patient, to expedite wound healing, to reduce neuropathic pain of the foot and ankle, chronic musculoskeletal pain of the ankle and foot, and acute post-operative foot and ankle pain, and to prevent muscular atrophy of the foot muscles.

Abstract: A single channel neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), lower extremity edema, and other associated conditions by electrical stimulation of the muscles of the foot muscles. An electrical signal generator produces a square wave pattern of variable frequency, duration, intensity, ramp time, and stimulation on-off cycle. Surface electrodes are positioned over the foot muscles and are attached to the stimulator by various means. The stimulator is programmed in a manner to stimulate the foot muscles to reduce pooling of the blood in the soleal veins of the calf This is accomplished by only stimulating the soles of the feet.
