US Patent:

6424868, Jul 23, 2002

Filed:

Nov 9, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/436013

Inventors:

Brian T. Smith - Hatboro PA
Brian McGee - Elkins Park PA
John Douglas - Philadelphia PA
Randal R. Betz - Langhorne PA
Michael Ignatoski - Ann Arbor MI

Assignee:

Shriners Hospital for Children - Tampa FL

International Classification:

A61N 108

US Classification:

607 59, 607 49

Abstract:

A functional electrical stimulation system for generating a data file storing stimulation patterns that can be provided to a stimulator is described. The system includes a host computer system for producing a data structure or data file that describes the patterns and a portable stimulator that using the data structure or data file applies electrical pulses to electrodes carried by a patient. The host computer system and the stimulator system each have a memory storing a table having control and pattern generation information with indexes into a table that separately stores electrode characterization data for each electrode used by the portable stimulator.
