WE ARE THE EXPERTS FOR FUNCTIONAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION DEVICES

Supplementing lost functions, relearning movement patterns, preserving muscle mass and treating pain are just a few examples to illustrate the possibilities of electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation has been a valuable tool for rehabilitation for a long time and it is part of MEDELs mission to support caretakers and patients with high-quality electrical stimulation devices for innervated and denervated muscles. In the past years, we put a strong focus on functional electrical stimulation (FES) and developed methods to improve the application of FES with intuitive FES control methods.

Our new Device Generation for Multi-Channel Electrical Stimulation

Multi-Channel Stimulation

  • All of MEDELs devices allow multi-channel stimulation (2-4 channel)
  • Each channel can stimulate a different muscle
  • Each channel can use different stimulation parameters and timing
  • Using multiple channels allows or supports functional movements, e.g. grasping an object

KT Motion®: Unique all-in-one-solution

Externally controlled stimulation with switches and sensor

Methods

Externally controlled stimulation
The timing of the stimulation can be controlled externally through the use of analogue switches and sensors. This makes it possible to trigger and control functional movements and to use the stimulation device for temporary compensation of a motor disability or for task-oriented training, mainly after centrally induced paralyses such as stroke and craniocerebral trauma. The sensor/controller is used to control the pulse width, i.e. the increase and decrease of the stimulation intensity.
EMG-triggered stimulation
EMG-triggered stimulation programmes are using residual muscle activities, e.g for neurorehabilitation after centrally induced paralysis (e.g. stroke). A command is generated by the voluntary generation of muscle activity, which triggers a stimulation event. The electrical muscle activity measured via the surface electrodes is visualised with a bar. If this exceeds a threshold, the stimulation is triggered.
Biofeedback programs
Biofeedback programmes are used for the pure display of muscle activity. The electrical muscle activity measured via the surface electrodes is visualised with a bar.
Cyclic stimulation programmes
Cyclical stimulation programmes are classic programmes for electrical stimulation that are used in the therapy of paralysed or weakened muscles to trigger repetitive movements or muscle contractions.
Denervation programmes
Denervation programmes are used for the stimulation of muscles that cannot be stimulated by classic biphasic rectangular impulses, for example due to a peripheral nerve injury. Triangular impulses are used instead. Clearly visible individual twitches of the paralysed muscles are generated.
