VitalStim® Plus
The VitalStim® Plus is a state-of-the-art electrotherapy and sEMG biofeedback system that enhances swallowing therapy. It combines neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) with biofeedback to improve treatment outcomes for patients with dysphagia.
Key Features:
- VitalStim Treatment - The VitalStim waveform is delivered in Co-Contraction Mode. Up to four separate channels deliver stimulation concurrently and pause at the same time
- sEMG Treatment - Electrical signals in the muscle are measured and displayed on a screen and are amplified into sounds that the patient can hear
- sEMG + Triggered Stim - The patient initiates the swallowing exercise with the assistance of sEMG biofeedback. When the set threshold is reached, VitalStim® Plus will switch to stimulation mode to increase the effort and exercise load
Indications:
- Helps recruitment and re-education of muscles in the process of swallowing
