AxioBionics - Wearable Therapy Upper Extremity BioSleeve for Muscle Therapy
The Upper Extremity BioSleeve by AxioBionics is a specialized, wearable device designed for muscle therapy, spasm relief, and alleviation of pain associated with neuromuscular disorders. This device delivers up to 12 hours of electrical stimulation daily, providing non-invasive support for those dealing with muscle paralysis and spasms. The BioSleeve targets muscles in specific configurations to assist shoulder, arm, and hand mobility, addressing issues such as muscle atrophy, impaired circulation, and reduced range of motion. By stimulating muscles antagonistic to those in spasm, the BioSleeve helps in enhancing joint flexibility and preventing contractures. It ensures consistent therapeutic quality and maximizes active therapy time, accommodating patient-specific needs with custom designs. Notably, real-life examples like David and Jessica demonstrate significant improvements in functional independence and quality of life, supporting the device's efficacy in extensive therapeutic applications.
AxioBionics WalkAide - Functional Electrical Stimulation System for Foot Drop
The WalkAide is a specialized neuroprosthetic device designed to address foot drop, a condition often resulting from interrupted communication between the brain and muscles that control foot movement. By employing Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), the device restores this communication by sending targeted electrical impulses to the peroneal nerve. These impulses are crucial for activating the muscles responsible for lifting the foot, thereby facilitating a smoother and safer walking experience. Unlike traditional bracing, the WalkAide allows for unrestricted movement, promoting enhanced muscle health through reduced atrophy and improved range of motion. Patients undergo a detailed evaluation to ascertain suitability for the device, which may necessitate partnering with physical therapists to refine gait mechanics. If unsuitable, alternative solutions such as AxioBionics' TripleFlex or custom orthotics are available to address foot drop. The FES systems offered are integral in providing a better quality of mobility and helping patients regain flexibility naturally.
TripleFlex - Gait Rehabilitation Device
The TripleFlex is a specialized rehabilitation device designed to assist individuals with foot drop and leg-lift deficiencies, particularly those suffering from neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain injury, and stroke. Unlike traditional orthotic solutions that often restrict movement by bracing the ankle and foot, TripleFlex aims to enhance mobility by engaging each joint during the swing phase of the gait cycle. This device can adjust the inversion of the foot through lateral foot strap tension and can be used with or without an ankle foot orthosis, providing users flexibility in their rehabilitation process. TripleFlex is particularly beneficial for patients with weakened hip and knee flexors, offering support to the entire leg and enabling longer walking distances without fatigue. Clinicians find it beneficial in improving gait, exercise compliance, and balance strategies, asserting its efficacy in functional strengthening. Orthotists and physical therapists can leverage this device for both clinical tests and long-term rehabilitation strategies.
AxioBionics - Wearable Therapy System for Rehabilitation and Pain Management
The Wearable Therapy system by AxioBionics is a distinctive approach to rehabilitation and pain management that combines various surface electrical stimulation technologies such as TENS, NMES, and FES integrated with a customized garment. This system is tailored to deliver personalized therapy to patients with medically complex conditions. Primarily designed to enhance muscle activity throughout the day, the device can be worn under clothing for extended periods or utilized in short home sessions. It ensures accurate electrode placement, facilitating effective electrical stimulation without discomfort. The design safeguards against electrode detachment during movement and sweat, while the embedded lead wires prevent entanglement, ensuring smooth mobility. The BioGel Velcro Electrodes further enhance reliability and consistency in therapy. Wearable Therapy™ requires professional fitting and ongoing support to adapt to individual needs and achieve optimal results for long-term use.
AxioBionics BioBelts - BioBelt for Chronic Low Back Pain
The BioBelt, developed by AxioBionics, targets chronic low back pain through innovative electrical stimulation technology. Uniquely engineered, these FDA-cleared devices provide an alternative to traditional pain management by modulating the nervous system's response to pain. The BioBelt works by emitting low-level electrical impulses that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, thus providing non-pharmacologic relief. Its modular design allows customization to cater to specific pain areas and medical needs, incorporating lumbar support for enhanced spine stability and abdominal muscle stimulation for core strengthening. The BioBelt's dual-mode electrical stimulation mimics a soothing massage, helping re-educate muscles and support mechanical stability without medication side effects. Easily incorporated into daily routines, these belts promise consistency in treatment with extended usage viability, making them a practical solution for long-term pain management needs.
