KNEEHAB® Advanced Therapy
Product Code: 021802/R

KNEEHAB® XP is specifically designed to strengthen the quadriceps (thigh) muscles and is clinically proven to speed rehabilitation and return patients to normal daily activities faster than exercise alone.

KNEEHAB® is a unique, innovative and clinically proven*, garment-based Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) product designed specifically to treat quadriceps atrophy (thigh muscle wastage). Clinical research has shown EMS technology to be an effective treatment for quadriceps atrophy, which is associated with almost all knee injuries and that the use of KNEEHAB® can significantly reduce postoperative rehabilitation time.

Key Benefits of using KNEEHAB®:
Easy to Use - KNEEHAB® is a garment-based (thigh wrap) ‘all-in-one’ product. Once it has been initially set up you just strap it on your thigh and switch the unit on
Home Therapy Convenience - KNEEHAB® is ideal for home use and can be used at a time that suits you. KNEEHAB®’s design enables error-free and repeatable treatment
Clinically Proven - Clinical Research has shown EMS and KNEEHAB® to be effective in treating thigh muscle weakness and to significantly reduce rehabilitation time
Comfort - The incorporation of MULTIPATH technology ensures the most comfortable and effective contractions
Pre-op/Post-op Strengthening - KNEEHAB® can be used both pre and post operatively to limit muscle wastage and speed your recovery
A Faster Recovery Time is Possible - KNEEHAB® can be used to treat quadriceps atrophy (thigh muscle wastage) in the case of a variety of surgeries, injuries and conditions: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction, Total Knee Replacement, Post-Fracture etc.

About EMS
EMS re-educates the muscles by sending gentle electrical pulses through pads placed on the surface of the skin. This electrical stimulation, applied to the motor nerve, causes the muscles to contract, helping to strengthen and build-up the muscle over time.

About Multipath™
KNEEHAB® incorporates Multipath™, a patented breakthrough stimulation technology which enables KNEEHAB® to deliver highly focused, accurately coordinated and comfortable quadriceps contractions.

How can KNEEHAB® help rehabilitate the knee?
KNEEHAB® works by re-educating and strengthening the quadriceps muscle through cycles of contraction and relaxation. It can be used to improve joint stability and to treat quadriceps atrophy resulting from a wide range of conditions affecting the knee, including ligament injury, dislocation, fracture, osteoarthritis and stroke. It can be used to help avoid or delay surgery and where surgery is required it can accelerate post-operative rehabilitation.
