Exopulse Mollii Suit for Parkinson’s Disease from Ottobock
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 professionals adjust to the user’s individual needs via a control unit.
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.
