EXOPULSE Suit

Name: EXOPULSE Suit
Brand: Ottobock

Put on Possible

The near full-body neuromodulation suit relaxing spastic and tense muscles, activating weak muscles, and relieving related pain: The EXOPULSE Suit fundamentally changes the treatment field of neurological disorders and related symptoms. It is a near full-body neuromodulation suit that makes use of a physiological reflex mechanism called reciprocal inhibition: By sending an electrical signal to an antagonistic muscle, the spastic muscle subsequently relaxes. The combined effect of relaxing tense muscles and enabling the activation of weak muscles allows its users to enjoy a more active and less painful daily life. It is a personal assistive medical device which is used for low-energy near full-body electrical stimulation, reducing the typical symptoms associated with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke and other neurological disorders with similar conditions.

Benefits at a glance

Relieve spasticity & related pain

The suit’s targeted stimulation helps relax spastic muscles, activate weak ones, and relieve spasticity-related pain, all with just 60 minutes of stimulation every other day (unless a healthcare provider recommends otherwise).

Reduce fibromyalgia symptoms

Daily stimulation with the suit delivers clinically proven improvement in fibromyalgia-related pain, fatigue, and quality of life. Ongoing use can relieve common psychological symptoms too.

Relief in just 60 minutes

For some users, the suit may also deliver results in as little as an hour. Patients with spasticity, as well as patients with fibromyalgia, report that just one session in the suit has helped relieve their symptoms.

Drug- and surgery-free

With the suit, users can help manage their spasticity or fibromyalgia symptoms without taking more medications or undergoing invasive implantation procedures.

Apps for users and clinicians

These intuitive digital tools make it even easier for clinicians to set up, personalise, and manage the suit, and enable users to make personalized adjustments to their stimulation.

Range of available sizes

The jacket and trousers come in 37 different sizes. Kid-sized suits fit children as young as 2-3 years of age, including wide sizes. Men’s and women’s adult sizes are available up to 5XL.

Comfortable fabric and fit

The suit’s more elastic material is even easier for users to put on and wear. The comfortable, lightweight synthetic fabric contains no animal products or fibers.

Ready-to-wash garments

Both the jacket and pants can be cleaned up to 60 times in a home washing machine (without the control unit).

Functionality

How neuromodulation works

Neuromodulation is a well-known way to modify nerve behavior by gently stimulating affected muscles with electrical signals. The suit is designed to deliver that stimulation almost anywhere in the body.

This approach to neuromodulation may help users:

• Move more freely and with less pain by releasing spastic muscles and reactivating weak ones.

• Reduce fibromyalgia-related pain by activating nervous system mechanisms that block the transmission of pain signals.

How the suit relieves fibromyalgia symptoms

Neuromodulation helps reduce pain by activating nervous system mechanisms that block the transmission of pain signals. These "pain gates" may help block debilitating symptoms before they reach the central nervous system.

• Move more freely and with less pain by releasing spastic muscles and reactivating weak ones.

• Reduce fibromyalgia-related pain by activating nervous system mechanisms that block the transmission of pain signals.

Neuromodulation to reduce spasticity

Neuromodulation is an effective treatment for neuromuscular disorders like spasticity—a debilitating condition often linked to cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and stroke. The Exopulse suit delivers full-body neuromodulation through electrical stimulation. By sending electrical signals to the opposing (antagonistic) muscle, it helps relax the spastic muscle. This works through a natural reflex mechanism called reciprocal inhibition, which controls the activation and relaxation of muscles.

FAQS

Answers for you

The exopulse suit is intended to provide

relaxation of tense and spastic muscles and muscle activation, improved local blood circulation and/or pain relief in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, fibromyalgia, and other neurological disorders which may cause such type of symptoms.

Patients with spasticity should typically use the suit every other day unless otherwise specified by a healthcare professional, preferably in combination with physiotherapy, training, or activity.

Patients with fibromyalgia should typically use the suit for 60 minutes daily, unless a healthcare professional recommends otherwise. In most cases, these patients may continue any drug, physical, psychiatric, or other therapy they may be using to manage their fibromyalgia, while also adding the suit to their treatment regimen.

The newly redesigned suit may also be used by patients with implanted medical devices after consultation with your medical specialist.

Do not use the exopulse suit:

Together with electronic life-support equipment, e.g. cardiac demand pacemakers, or high frequency operation equipment
Together with ECG-equipment

The exopulse suit may potentially disrupt the function of the above-mentioned types of equipment. All
incorrect usage is at the user's own risk.

Do not use the exopulse suit without consulting a doctor in connection with:

Cardiac diseases or other types of related conditions
Cancer
Infectious diseases
Fever
Epilepsy
Skin diseases, rashes or other skin problems
Use together with another medical device

Using the exopulse suit with the above can expose the user to unnecessary risk and is therefore at the user's own risk. Always consult a doctor.
