Xcite2 — FES upper limb autonomy

Xcite2 integrated Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for task-specific functional movement was designed to enable clinicians to easily and efficiently apply multi-channel integrated FES during specific activities commonly performed in therapy.
How can Xcite2 help me?
With a wide variety of pre-programmed activities — ranging from activities of daily living and hand strengthening to postural rehabilitation and upper- and lower-limb mobility skills — virtually anyone with neurological weakness or paralysis may benefit from using Xcite2.
Xcite2 enhances the impact of traditional therapeutic activities that promote muscle re-education by:
 
 
Strengthening active muscle contractions
 
 
Facilitating dynamic, reciprocal movement patterns for normalised sensory input
 
 
Providing feedback to the patient

How does integrated FES work?
Electrodes placed on the skin deliver controlled electrical impulses to activate weak or paralysed muscles and generate muscle contractions. This promotes nervous system activity and helps create optimal conditions for neuroplasticity.
