EXOPULSE Mollii Suit

The muscles in your body are grouped in ways that help them balance, control and counteract each other’s movements. Spasticity disrupts the way these groups work together. It both tightens affected muscles while weakening the opposing ones, often immobilizing the whole group. The Exopulse Mollii Suit is designed to restore the normal, healthy balance of muscle groups throughout the body. It does so using a well-known technique called “neuromodulation”: a method that helps the body move more freely by changing (or “modulating”) the way muscle nerves behave.

Neuromodulation is a technology that acts directly upon nerves with the purpose of producing a natural biological response. It is the alteration – or modulation – of nerve activity by delivering electrical agents directly to a target area.

There are several different forms of neuromodulation. The Suit uses one based on gently stimulating affected muscle groups with electrical signals. This approach has been shown to help reset muscle signals disrupted by spasticity and resync muscle groups that may have stopped working together the way they should.

Embedded in the Suit are 58 electrodes that send gentle, barely perceptible pulses to both tense, spastic muscles and the weakened muscles that counterbalance them. These pulses both release the tense muscles and reactivate the weak ones, restoring the group’s natural balance and helping the body once more move the way it should.
