AxioBionics - Wearable Therapy System for Rehabilitation and Pain Management
The Wearable Therapy system by AxioBionics is a distinctive approach to rehabilitation and pain management that combines various surface electrical stimulation technologies such as TENS, NMES, and FES integrated with a customized garment. This system is tailored to deliver personalized therapy to patients with medically complex conditions. Primarily designed to enhance muscle activity throughout the day, the device can be worn under clothing for extended periods or utilized in short home sessions. It ensures accurate electrode placement, facilitating effective electrical stimulation without discomfort. The design safeguards against electrode detachment during movement and sweat, while the embedded lead wires prevent entanglement, ensuring smooth mobility. The BioGel Velcro Electrodes further enhance reliability and consistency in therapy. Wearable Therapy™ requires professional fitting and ongoing support to adapt to individual needs and achieve optimal results for long-term use.
Wearable Therapy™ is the integration of one or more surface electrical stimulation technologies (TENS, NMES, FES) with our customized electrode garment,
bundled together into a complete package.
Wearable Therapy™ can only be fit by a qualified clinician after receiving a thorough evaluation.
We Believe in Personalized Care
AxioBionics takes extraordinary measures to personalize our patient care solutions. We understand the nature and complexity of physical disabilities and do not take for granted the seriousness of what is at stake or the impact on quality of life. Our patients depend on our ability to assess their concerns and develop a treatment plan that meets their needs.
Evaluations
Evaluations are one-on-one visits with a specially trained clinician who will take the time to get to know the patient’s medical history and guide the patient through an in-clinic trial, as well as a home trial if indicated. We will do everything possible to ensure that Wearable Therapy® is the right fit for you.
Tailored Fittings
Wearable Therapy™ systems are personalized and tailored to ensure the device fits perfectly to the body and that it meets all comfort and performance expectations.
We understand the importance of getting it right.
Ongoing Support
AxioBionics is committed to supporting the patient through the entire Wearable Therapy® process. We follow our patients closely to monitor comfort, safety, compliance, changes in response to the device, changes in the fit of the garment, and we document results and outcomes over time. Many of our patients will go on to use Wearable Therapy® for the rest of their life.
Improves Therapy Time
Making muscles work on a daily basis is critical in the rehabilitation process. Active muscle contractions have beneficial effects that passive movement cannot deliver.
Traditional clinic-based therapy and electrotherapy are time-limited therapies, but Wearable Therapy™ elevates the amount of therapy time because it is not applied, it is worn. Wearable Therapy™ can be worn on the body under clothing for many hours throughout the day, every day.
Patients can also elect to wear them for one to two hours at home in situations where it is convenient and efficient to not leave the home.
All Wearable Therapy™ systems are equipped with lead wires that are connected in the garment in a configuration specific to the patient. This avoids any potential errors in the way the patient would connect the electrical stimulation device to individual electrodes and helps keeps the therapy consistent from session to session.
For surface electrical stimulation to be successful, electrodes must be placed over key locations of the body. Errors in placement can cause discomfort to the patient or lead to poor contractions that reduce therapeutic benefits.
When applied to the body, Wearable Therapy™ locates each electrode accurately and consistently. This is especially helpful when applying electrodes to the backside of the body where it is difficult to reach.
Keeping electrodes affixed to the body is the only way electrical stimulation can transmit impulses to underlying muscles. Self-adhering electrodes lose their hold when patients move, sweat, or wear them under clothing.
Wearable Therapy™ electrodes, however, are held to the body by the garment. The garment allows the wearer to have mobility during the time it is worn without electrodes detaching.
All Wearable Therapy™ systems embed the lead wires inside the garment to protect them. But more importantly, the design prevents them from becoming entangled with the patient or restricting motion as the patient walks or moves about in life.
