The invention relates to a system (1) for electrically stimulating muscles, in particular denervated muscles (M), or nerves, comprising a stimulator (2) for generating electrical pulses, said stimulator being connected to a unit (4) for the supply of electric energy and for control purposes and comprising at least two electrodes (3) that are connected to the stimulator (2) and that emit electric pulses to the muscles (M) or nerves. The aim of the invention is to produce a stimulation system (1) of this type which improves safety, selectivity and is easier to use. To achieve this, the stimulator (2) and at least two electrodes (3) are designed to be implanted, at least one electrode (3) being designed to be fixed to a bone (K). The functional electric stimulation can thus be used in particular for the prevention of decubitus.

L'invention concerne un système (1) de stimulation électrique de muscles, notamment de muscles (M) non innervés, ou de nerfs, ce système comprenant un stimulateur (2), qui génère des impulsions électriques et qui est relié à un dispositif (4) d'alimentation en énergie électrique et de commande, et au moins deux électrodes (3) reliées au stimulateur (2) et destinées à envoyer les impulsions électrique aux muscles (M) ou aux nerfs. L'invention vise à créer un système de simulation (1) de ce type qui apporte une amélioration en termes de sécurité, de sélectivité et de facilité d'utilisation. À cet effet, le stimulateur (2) et au moins deux électrodes (3) sont conçus de manière à pouvoir être implantés, au moins une électrode (3) étant conçue pour être fixée à un os (K). Il est ainsi possible d'appliquer une stimulation électrique fonctionnelle, notamment pour la prophylaxie du décubitus.
