EXOPULSE Mollii Suit & Cerebral Palsy
Spasticity is a frequent and debilitating symptom in patients with cerebral palsy. It can alter the patients' balance, mobility, as well as their quality of life (QoL). The available therapeutic strategies for treating spasticity and related symptoms are usually faced with limited efficacy and numerous side effects. For these reasons, non-invasive stimulation techniques, namely transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation using EXOPULSE Mollii suit, might be of help in this context.
