The Exopulse Mollii Suit from Ottobock for spasms and MS

The Exopulse Mollii Suit from Ottobock is the first full-body neuromodulation suit. It relaxes spastic muscles and activates weaker muscles to reduce chronic pain. It is worn for only one hour a day while still providing the benefits for 24 hours.

Your concrete advantages:

  • Extremely fast dressing (thanks to numerous zippers)
  • Reduces chronic pain and spasticity
  • Noticeable success after a few minutes

Functions and advantages

Everything you need to know about the features and benefits of the The Exopulse Mollii Suit from Ottobock for spasms and MS need to know.

What is the Exopulse Mollii Suit?

Stimulation of the antagonistic muscle results in relaxation of the spastic muscle, leading to positive effects in clinical studies regarding range of motion, balance, hand-arm functions and gait. The Exopulse Suit is a non-invasive, novel system based on the physiological reflex mechanism of reciprocal inhibition. This neuromodulating stimulation is a non-invasive and non-drug intervention with fewer side effects compared to conventional invasive and drug treatments for spasticity. This results in positive effects observed in clinical studies in range of motion, balance, hand-arm functions and gait.

Equipment

The Ottobock Exopulse Mollii Suit consists of a jacket, pants and control unit. It is available in 37 sizes ranging from sizes for 2- to 3-year-olds, including additional sizes for children, and up to 5XL for women and men. There are 58 electrodes integrated into the Exopulse Suit for stimulation of 40 major muscle groups. This allows for more than 30 different settings per muscle group using 20 Hz subthreshold transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).

What is neuromodulation?

Neuromodulation alters nerve activity to elicit a natural biological response. Through the use of neuromodulation, target areas can be provided with electrical stimuli to alter nerve activity. Neuromodulation is a technique that acts on nerves to cause a response. Due to neurological disease, an antagonistic muscle does not receive a signal naturally. By sending an electrical signal to the antagonistic muscle, relaxation of the muscle is induced.

What sizes does the Molii Suit offer and how long should one use the system daily?
  • Available for children and for adults in sizes 104 to 5XL.
  • Equipped with 58 integrated electrodes in key locations for stimulation of 40 major muscle groups throughout the body
  • Can be customized for the patient's personal needs based on the patient's diagnosis
  • Recommended use over one hour every two days

FAQ - Frequently asked questions

What is spasticity?

Spasticity can be caused by damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and means a pathological increase in muscle tone. Spasticity can severely limit the quality of life.

Spasticity, spasm or spasticity is caused by damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and means an abnormal increase in muscle tone.

 

Triggers include neurological indications, examples:

 

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Stroke
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson's
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Acquired brain damage
  • other motor movement disorders

The increased muscle tension leads to permanent hardening and stiffening, known as spastic paralysis.

Advantages according to manufacturer
  • Can normalize muscle tension (fascilitate)
  • May prevent various forms of muscle shortening/stiffness
  • The low-frequency electrostimulation relaxes the spastic, tense and painful muscles
  • Reduces pain associated with spasticity
  • 58 electrodes stimulate up to 40 important muscles
  • Consists of pants, top and removable control unit
  • Is programmed to the individual needs of each user
  • Is available in children's, men's and women's sizes from 104 cm up to XXXL
  • Can be used in both private and clinical environments
  • Is easy to use for any age
  • Can be worn like an ordinary garment
  • May have a positive effect lasting up to 48 hours
What is the Exopulse Suit?

The Exopulse Suit is a soft orthosis for electrostimulation consisting of pants, a top and a removable control unit. 58 electrodes, aligned to affect up to 40 relevant muscles, are located in the components. The Exopulse Suit can be worn by both children and adults.

How does the Exopulse Suit work?

A low frequency electrical stimulus stimulates the antagonist/opponent of the spastic muscle. The Exopulse Suit is a simple and safe tool to relax spastic muscles to improve mobility and function. It has been proven in many clinical studies that the Exopulse Suit has a simple and safe mode of action. For example, if the biceps are spastic, the triceps are stimulated, which in turn relaxes the biceps. The relaxation of the spastic muscle thus allows active movement, gradual improvement of function, and pain reduction.

How is the Exopulse Suit used?

For best results, the Exopulse Suit should be worn every other day, for approximately one hour.

We recommend using this in conjunction with physiotherapy, training or exercise in general.
