Effective relief with the touch of a button.
The exopulse suit is an innovative, wearable way to manage the symptoms of spasticity, a debilitating condition that’s common in people affected by cerebral palsy (CP), multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, and other neurological conditions.
It uses a trusted treatment called neuromodulation to relieve spasticity and related pain almost anywhere users may be experiencing them, and now, with its latest new design, the suit delivers relief with more comfort and in a more user-friendly way.
Get quick, sustainable results without the trade-offs.
With the exopulse suit, there’s finally a way to regularly and consistently manage spasticity between the ups and downs of other treatments, or their side effects. Simply put it on for an hour every other day (or as often as your clinician recommends) and leave inconsistent relief behind you.
Who it’s for
The exopulse suit is designed for people with spasticity: a movement condition that can be related to a number of different neurological conditions and injuries.
New design, new features & new possibilities.
The latest version of the exopulse suit is purpose-built to provide even more targeted stimulation and an even more comfortable user experience. Here’s a closer look at some of the new updates.
Even more comfort
Both the jacket and trousers are now made from a stretchy single-layer fabric that’s even easier to put on and wear. They also have fewer zippers and have shorter, more comfortable sleeves and trouser legs.

Even more precision
The new suit now has an optimised array of 50 enlarged, combined electrodes. This configuration makes it even easier to ensure that every electrode is well positioned, every time.

Evidence-Based Relief for Spasticity.
Neuromodulation is a proven approach that has been extensively evaluated in neuromuscular conditions like spasticity [1-6], a debilitating condition associated with CP, MS, and stroke. The exopulse suit takes this trusted technique a step closer to its true potential. It uses reciprocal inhibition to release spastic muscles, rebalance muscle activity, and help patients move more freely and with less pain.

All testimonials are real users of the exopulse suit, and may not reflect the typical patient's experience, and are not intended to represent or guarantee that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Every patient has unique experiences and exercise habits, as well as a personalised care plan. Thus, the experiences that we share from other people may not reflect the typical user’s experience.

**Based on change in Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score in an open-label study of group-level response to suit stimulation in patients with CP (adult and pediatric), MS, and stroke. Results of this study were evaluated in 38 patients with impaired balance and an increased fall risk (n=15/15/8 CP/MS/stroke, baseline BBS score < 45). Patients in all cohorts reported significant improvement in BBS score after 60 minutes of stimulation (T1) and after 4 weeks of stimulation every other day (T2).
***Based on change in EQ5D pain levels in an open-label study of group-level response to suit stimulation in patients with CP (adult and pediatric), MS, and stroke. Change in pain levels was evaluated in a subset of 32 patients who reported spasticity-related pain at baseline (n=10/15/7 CP/MS/stroke, baseline EQ5D pain > 1). Patients in all cohorts reported significant improvement in EQ5D pain score after 60 minutes of stimulation (T1) and after 4 weeks of stimulation every other day (T2).
