Description:
After a stroke or accident, many patients are limited in their mobility due to paralysis and spasticity. Even after rehabilitation, regular training of lost movements is usually necessary. KT Motion supports patients in their home exercises by means of functional electrostimulation. Various muscles are stimulated via adhesive electrodes on the skin. The device promotes the compensation of missing functions in centrally caused and peripheral paralyses. Up to four muscle groups can be stimulated and complex movements relevant to everyday life can be performed in a targeted manner.The electrical impulses activate the affected muscles and provide the nervous system with stimuli for the initiation of functional movements. With the dynamic and intuitive sensor control, patients can determine when, how long and how intensively they want to perform the movements.
Features / Components:
- 4 stimulation channels, 2 with EMG function
- biofeedback
- exponential current
- FES with Dynamic Intensity Control (DIS) sensor
- EMG-triggered multi-channel stimulation to initiate functional movements
- dynamic control of stimulation intensity enables everyday movements and supports task-oriented training
- contralateral control: Patient controls duration and intensity of stimulation via bending switch on healthy hand - affected hand follows movement
