Xcite2

by Restorative Therapies

The Xcite2 FES utilizes functional electrical stimulation (FES) for task-specific activities. The FES targets peripheral nerves to facilitate muscular contractions during activities commonly used in daily living. Each pre-programmed task in the software is meticulously timed to activate specific muscles in a correct sequenced stimulation pattern to perform the prescribed activity.

With 40 pre-programmed integrated activities to help with activities of daily living such as hand strengthening, learning to grasp or feeding to postural re-training, transfers and upper/lower mobility skills – nearly any individual with neurological weakness or paralysis will benefit from using Xcite2.

Xcite2 enhances the impact of the traditional therapeutic activities that support muscle re-education by:

– Enhancing active muscle contractions
– Facilitating dynamic, reciprocal movement patterns for normalized input
– Providing patient feedback with an animated display and audio cues
