Physiomed - Model vocaSTIM - Professional Therapy and Diagnostic Device

SHARE

Professional therapy and diagnostic device for larynxparesis based voice and swallowing indications. Developed for neuro-rehabilitation, ENT doctors and speech therapy. The vocaSTIM-Master allows you a rapid automatised diagnosis of the degree of damage to the paretic musculature. The resulting optimum current treatment parameters are generated automatically and can be selected and determined using the comprehensive indications index, together with a variety of phonation exercises. Pictures of electrode application make therapeutic use easier.

Improvement of voice quality

Compared to conventional voice therapy, the 3-month treatment with vocaSTIM® for unilateral larynx pareses leads to a significant improvement to the irregularity index (CFx).

Ptok M., Strack D. (2008): Electrical stimulation-supported voice exercises are superior to voice exercise therapy alone in patients with unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis: results from a prospective, randomized clinical trial. Muscle Nerve 38:1005-1011.

vocaSTIM® is a concept for the diagnosis, therapy and therapy process control of larynx pareses. Following anamnesis, diagnosis and instruction by a doctor or therapist, the patient can normally continue autonomous therapy or voice training independently. Process control is carried out at regular intervals by the attendant therapist.

Standardised therapy with Neuro Muscular Electro Phonatory Stimulation (NMEPS) according to Prof. Pahn is based on electrostimulation of the damaged musculature in the form of intentional exercises. While the patient attempts to trigger voluntary contraction, at the same time, a supporting electric pulse is triggered manually be means of a manual release key. The current parameters used are determined by a diagnostic procedure which is carried out initially and as part of therapy progress control. The parameters are customised exactly to the indication and degree of damage.
