Exopulse Mollii Suit

The shock was deep: Maja suffered a stroke at the age of 44. An event with far-reaching consequences: Severe spasticity in her arm and leg and left-sided paralysis completely turned her active life upside down. „The suit has made me relax in a whole new way. And I´ve even started working again!” Like Maja`s sister said: “You are the old Maja again…”

Niclas is 50 years old and was born with cerebral palsy. “I kept getting worse and worse. Increasingly tense, stiff and spastic. I’ve tried several treatments and therapies, but nothing comes even close to the Exopulse Mollii Suit. The suit truly saved me.” To Niclas, life is about feeling good. And now, he can live the life he wants to live.

Léa, 10 years old, was born with cerebral palsy. She loves sports! She plays basketball and goes horseback riding. She likes to go karting and skiing.“Before I started using the Exopulse Mollii Suit, I couldn´t sit with my back straight and legs crossed. The suit improves my balance and helps me walk much longer distances. I feel like a completely new person- in a way. Totally free! I can do what I want. And that feels amazing."

The Exopulse Mollii Suit is the first neuromodulation suit that helps with electrical stimulation. But what does that mean exactly?

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.

This neuromodulation stimulation is non-invasive and non-pharmacological, and has limited side-effects compared to other known invasive or pharmacological treatments for spasticity and related pain. It leads to positive effects as observed in clinical studies on range of motion, balance, hand-arm functions, gait and overall quality of life.

Exopulse Mollii Suit is used to stimulate the antagonistic muscle to a muscle that is spastic. If for example, the biceps muscle is spastic or tense, the suit is used to stimulate the triceps muscle. By a natural reflex mechanism called reciprocal inhibition, the biceps muscle will subsequently relax. Relaxing the muscle enables a gradual improvement in function and may also relieve related pain.

Due to the neurological condition, an antagonist muscle does not receive a signal naturally...

... by sending an electrical signal to the antagonistic muscle, the spastic muscle will subsequently relax.
