The Exopulse Mollii Suit is a groundbreaking wearable device designed to alleviate muscle spasticity and enhance mobility in individuals with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injury.
How It Works
The suit employs neuromodulation through 58 embedded electrodes that deliver low-frequency electrical impulses to targeted muscle groups. This stimulation leverages a natural reflex mechanism called reciprocal inhibition by activating the antagonist muscle, the spastic (tight) muscle relaxes. This approach not only reduces muscle tension but also promotes the activation of weakened muscles, improving overall movement and reducing pain.
Who Can Benefit
The Exopulse Mollii Suit is beneficial for individuals experiencing:
Muscle spasticity
Limited mobility
Chronic pain
Impaired balance and coordination
Patients with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and stroke showed significant improvements in balance, mobility, and quality of life after using the suit for just one hour. These benefits were sustained with regular use over four weeks.
With technology like the Exopulse Mollii Suit bridging the gap between science and human movement, one has to wonder—could this be the future of rehabilitation for millions worldwide?
