STIWELL med4 Functional Electrotherapy

Functional electrotherapy supports rehabilitation for the recovery of motor skills after damage to the central nervous system, for example following a stroke.

With four stimulation channels, the STIWELL med4 facilitates the training of complex movement patterns. Two measurement channels also permit the application of biofeedback therapy, which actively involves the patient in the treatment process. The application of biofeedback functions enhances therapeutic success, helping to restore lost mobility and independence more quickly. It is based on the ability of the human brain to duplicate structures from damaged areas in other areas of the brain that were not damaged. A direct link between technical movement stimulation and the conscious intent to move, which is recorded as the myoelectric muscle potential of the muscle being trained, is crucial for targeted training.

The patient receives visual or audible feedback. The use of the STIWELL med4 is intuitive for the patient and only requires simple therapeutic instruction for home application.
