Abstract
An apparatus and method for improving mobility and/or the quality of synovial fluid of an affected articular joint are disclosed, wherein the joint is associated with at least a first muscle group and at least a second muscle group each having an antagonistic relationship for effecting mobility of the joint through a range of motion when recruited by natural neural impulses. An electro-medical device is configured to apply motor-level electrical stimulation in a multiphasic pattern via at least a first channel and at least a second channel. An applicator is worn on the articular segment such that the at least two first electrodes and the at least two second electrodes are disposed between the applicator and the articular segment and reduces compressive forces on at least one compartment of the affected joint.
