There are many different types of muscle diseases. Often their cause lies in the nervous system or a faulty signal transmission between nerve and muscle. Neuro-orthotics is primarily concerned with combating such muscle diseases. Aids that fall into this special field of orthotics range from sensorimotor insoles to whole-leg orthoses with electronically controlled knee joints (C-Brace®).

A particularly revolutionary innovation is the new Exopulse Mollii Suit soft orthosis. The full-body electrostimulation suit, which looks like a neoprene suit, was developed for patients suffering from spastic paralysis (i.e. increased inherent muscle tension) and other neurological movement disorders.

By releasing spastic, cramped or painful muscles with gentle electrical impulses, the suit can reduce pain and reactivate important muscles. Many sufferers show a more fluid gait pattern thanks to the Mollii Suit. They have less pain and can be more active in their daily lives.

So far, a variety of positive effects of the Exopulse Mollii Suit have been observed:

• symptomatic relief of chronic pain
• relief of post-operative pain and pain after injury
• relaxation of spastic muscles
• maintaining or increasing range of motion
• prevention of muscle atrophy
• prevention of various forms of muscle stiffness and shortening
• improvement of local blood circulation
• activation of the muscle

A positive side effect: To reduce spasticity, many patients need central depressant medication with corresponding side effects. By using the Exopulse Mollii Suit, the dose of medication can be reduced if necessary after consultation with the attending physician.

You are welcome to try out the Exopulse Mollii Suit with us - without obligation and free of charge. During a two to three hour appointment at Pohlig in Traunstein, we will first discuss your personal goals and expectations. Then we record a video documentation of your movement disorder without stimulation. For this purpose, we set you simple tasks, such as standing up, walking, grasping etc.

This is followed by the individual adjustment of the Exopulse Mollii Suit and 60 minutes of muscle stimulation. In a final test, in which you perform exactly the same tasks as before, we check whether anything has improved significantly as a result of the stimulation.

If you experience positive reactions and effects from this first test, you have the option of borrowing the Exopulse Mollii Suit for a trial period of 4 weeks. In this case, you will also receive a diary in which you can document your impressions and experiences with the stimulation suit. It is important to us that every user can experience the positive effects of the Exopulse Mollii Suit in everyday life before they are fitted with it.
