The Exopulse Mollii Suit can improve mobility for people affected by a stroke or Parkinson’s disease
The single-piece suit is equipped with 58 imbedded electrodes, which are adjust to the user’s individual needs
The Exopulse Mollii Suite is proving extremely valuable for patients that experiences celebral palsy, or the consequences of a stroke or the Parkinson’s disease.
The low-frequency #electrostimulation improves blood circulation and restores the previously inhibited balance between muscles pairs. If, for example, the bicep is tensed, the suit stimulates the tricep, which in turn causes the bicep to relax. As such, the technology works in a complementary way to functional electrical stimulation (FES), in which nerves are stimulated with small electrical impulses in order to trigger movements. by Ottobock market leader in technical orthopaedics.
