An electro-medical device and method for improving synovial fluid at a body segment having a joint by applying surface electrical stimulation using surface skin electrodes to the body segment. The electrical stimulation to the body segment and joint may be continuous or in a sequencing pattern. When the electrical stimulation uses a sequencing pattern, it mimics normal electrical sequencing of surrounding muscle of the joint during normal functioning activity. Surface electrical stimulation improves synovial fluid of the body segment and joint and ameliorates degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis.

Cette invention concerne un dispositif éectro-médical et une technique d'amélioration du liquide synovial dans une région du corps avec articulation, ceci par application d'une stimulation électrique superficielle au moyen d'électrodes appliquées sur la peau dans ladite région du corps. La stimulation électrique de ladite région du corps et de l'articulation peut se faire de manière continue ou séquentielle. En mode séquentiel, la stimulation reproduit la séquence de sollicitation électrique normale du muscle autour de l'articulation pendant le fonctionnement normal. La stimulation électrique superficielle améliore le liquide synovial dans la région du corps et l'articulation considérées et soulage les troubles dégénératifs des articulations et de l'ostéoarthrite.
