Abstract: Example electro-stimulation apparatuses and methods involve generating pulses having preset values of typical parameters. A number of sub-phases forming a sequence of the pulses are applied to organism, the sequence including an initial pulse an a final pulse. A substantial variation of at least one typical parameter is performed at a moment between the initial pulse and the final pulse. The frequency of the pulses is varied by causing between two consecutive sub-phases a frequency discontinuity greater than 60 Hz preceded by sub-phases having non-constant frequencies.
Abstract: An electrostimulating apparatus comprises a generating arrangement for generating electric pulses organised in sequences having preset values of typical parameters, the typical parameters comprising amplitude, width and frequency of the pulses, a plurality of stimulation channels such as to dispense the sequences to body zones of an organism in an independent manner, a varying arrangement suitable for varying at least one of the typical parameters in such a way as to substantially prevent the organism from habituating to the electric pulses; a method for electrostimulating an organism comprises: producing a sequence of electric pulses having a relaxing effect and a further sequence of electric pulses having a vasoactive effect; dispensing the sequence to body zones of the organism, and further dispensing the further sequence to further body zones of the organism, the body zones and the further body zones comprising agonist muscles and antagonist muscles of a neuromuscular compartment comprised in the organism
