Abstract
A system and method to control the Na/K pumps for the treatment or prevention of muscle fatigue by applying a synchronization modulation electric field that is effective in synchronizing the Na/K pumps down to individual steps throughout the pumping cycle, thereby synthesizing one ATP for each pumping cycle. The generated ATP molecule compensates the ATP consumed in extrusion of 3 Na ions and pumping 2 K ions such that the net-consumption of ATP for the Na/K pumps controlled by the system and method of the present invention is significantly reduced, theoretically to zero, thereby providing an effective treatment for muscle fatigue.
