Strengthen your knee patients outcomes

Clinically proven to strengthen quadriceps and improve knee stability.
Designed for knee patients:

+ Post surgical + Sports injuries + Degenerative conditions

Kneehab XP is an innovative and clinically proven*, Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) system designed specifically for quadriceps strengthening and as a result, improving Knee stability. Clinical research has shown NMES technology to be an effective treatment for quadriceps atrophy which can be associated with various types of knee injuries and degenerative conditions. Integrating Kneehab XP into your post surgical treatment protocols promoting early quadriceps strengthening and knee stability as compared to using volitional exercises.

Candidates for NMES - presenting with disuse atrophy of the VMO/quadriceps muscles: + Pre and Post Surgical - total knee replacement + Sports Injuries - ACL, LCL, MCL, PCL repair + Degenerative Conditions - osteoarthritis + Knee Joint Conditions - patella femoral syndrome Kneehab XP simulates natural muscle recruitment sequence:
Kneehab XP incorporates Multipath, a patented breakthrough stimulation technology that delivers highly focused, accurately coordinated quadriceps contractions. Multipath delivers multi-directional currents designed to recruit maximum muscle fiber and trigger stronger muscle contractions resulting in earlier post surgical outcomes.

Kneehab XP Controller and Conductive Garment

Simply apply, connect and begin therapy

Convenient, portable Use in the hospital, clinic, at home or in the office.

+ Positive outcomes MultipathTM stimulation technology recruits maximum muscle

to assist recovery.

A prospective, randomized, single blind study* carried out by the ATOS Clinic Center, Heidelberg, Germany, proves the treatment effectiveness of Kneehab XP in patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Patients were able to give back their crutches three days earlier and return to their normal daily routine one week earlier. The data shows significantly higher power levels and a greater jumping ability among the patients treated with Kneehab XP compared to those in the control group.

+ Knee Stabilization Targets the inner part of the quadriceps (the Vastus Medialis)
which assists in the stabilization of the knee.

Easy garment positioning Markings on outside of garment ensure correct placement on quadriceps muscles.

+ Convenience Portable for home, office or wherever life takes your patients. + Easy to use Features 3 programs, single cable attachment and rechargeable controller.

Kneehab XP developed for treatment of quadriceps atrophy and knee stability:

Kneehab XP works by strengthening and re-educating the quadriceps muscles through stimulation cycles of contraction and relaxation. The system delivers electrical pulses through the surface of the skin. These pulses trigger the quadriceps muscles to contract, helping to effectively strengthen muscles over time. Kneehab XP can be used to improve knee joint stability resulting from a wide range of injuries or degenerative conditions. Kneehab specifically targets the inner quadriceps (Vastus Medialis) which helps improve knee stability.

Kneehab XP indications for use: + Early post-surgical quadriceps strengthening and improved
post-surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps strengthening

+ Muscle re-education of the quadriceps + Maintain or increase range of motion of the knee joint + Prevent or slow disuse atrophy in the quadriceps + Increase local blood circulation
One size fits all Easy to prescribe and dispense select therapy for right or left quadriceps.
