It consists of a conductive garment, with built-in sensor technology which relays critical range of motion data and steps while precisely holding the electrodes in place to ensure effective quadricep activation.
The data are stored in a secure cloud based portal which can be accessed by the healthcare providers to track patient progress and patient reported measures in order to provide more predictable outcomes in a cost-effective way.
Its controller is based on the company’s CyMotion Technology to monitor and control the power delivered to the muscle to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
