EMS or Electrical Muscle Stimulation

In my opinion, the most neglected, but easiest Rehab tool that every Stroke, ABI, TBI, Survivor should or must use everyday is Electrical Muscle Stimulation.  These devices used to be cumbersome, difficult to program, and just plain scary.

EMS has three main benefits.

1. Reduce Spasticity

2. Maintain or increase Range Of Motion

3. Aid in Muscle re-education

However, with advancements in technology, these devices are now affordable, and many times are as simple as plug and play, with or without an AC option, rechargeable, or battery operated.  If you live outside of Canada, these are your best options, and can be found at Recover From Your Stroke With Saebo | Saebo, or Saebo UK

Since Saebo Stim Devices are not available in Canada, we had to think outside the box, and find, what we feel are the best, most affordable options.  We have found four, that are Health Canada Approved, at four different price points, so we decided to stock all four.  Here they are:
