1. A system for increasing biological activity within a patient, comprising:
a housing;
a drive carried within the housing;
an indexing contour carried by the housing and configured to substantially stabilize the housing in relation to a transport device base of a transport device configured to move a growth stimulator in relation to a bone of a subject;
a locking portion configured to releasably lock the housing to the transport device base;
a rotatable mating tool carried by the housing, wherein the drive is configured to cause the rotatable mating tool to rotate, and wherein the rotatable mating tool is configured to be rotationally and coaxially coupled to a screw drive of a leadscrew of the transport device when the housing is stabilized with the transport device base via the indexing contour and is locked to the transport device base via the locking portion; and
a control unit configured to output a control signal configured to direct the drive to rotate the rotatable mating tool.
