recoveriX for Multiple Sclerosis

Optimize Upper & Lower Limbs

recoveriX is measuring EEG activity while a patient imagines a hand or foot movements. Once recoveriX detects a motor imagination, it triggers a functional electrical stimulation of the limb so that the limb performes a real movement. Patients love that – especially if they were handicaped for a few years. This procedure is repeated 8000 times and connects cognitive functions with motor behavior. Due to the amount of repetitions, neurons are forming new connections to relearn the movement. A recoveriX MS patient has to undergo 30 sessions, each lasting for about 45 minutes, ideally 2-3 times per week.

The MS therapy treats legs/feet and hands/arms. The treatment reduces spasticity and leads to better fine and gross motoric skills in upper and lower extremities.

Prior and after the recoveriX therapy, from left to right. The ‚encouraging’ words patient Z. heard were: “In a few weeks, you’ll be tied to your wheelchair.” 26 years of living with MS.

• 25-Feet Walking Test: Before recoveriX: 25 seconds; After recoveriX: 15 seconds.
• 25 Feet Walking Test: Before recoveriX: 25 seconds; After recoveriX: 15 seconds.
• 6-Minutes Walking Test: Before recoveriX: 77 meters; After: 135 meters.
• Spasticity in left leg: Much less which lead to better gait pattern and more balance.
• Neuroplasticity changes: lot of more activation of the sensorimotor cortex after therapy.

“During the first 7 sessions I thought I am just wasting my time. In session 8 suddenly my left leg started to move again. It’s the best thing I ever did” said the patient. “I can stand up again more easily, my concentration improved, standing up and sitting down is easier due to more stability and balance. My wife drove me me to recoveriX therapy but after the third session, I could drive myself.” he continued.

There is nothing you can do, it will only grow worse from here on out. Patients with multiple sclerosis frequently hear this from their doctors. The patient is shown in the video on the left before starting recoveriX treatment, and on the right after recoveriX therapy. Only 25 hours of recoveriX therapy are necessary to observe a noticeable effect.

• 25 Feet Walking Test: Before recoveriX: 40 seconds; After recoveriX: 19 seconds. The patient walks twice as fast and her gait pattern is much better. Foot drop is highly reduced and her balance became much better.
• 6-Minutes Walk Test: Before recoveriX: 34 meters; After recoveriX: 101 meters. Her walking endurance became much better.
• Fatigue Scale: Highly reduced. She became more active in her daily life.
• Spasticity: Highly reduced. This leads to a better gait pattern and more balance.

She arrived in a wheelchair and was only able to move a short distance before the therapy. She had to pause or take a brief break after each step. After the therapy, she is now walking with a stick, spending more time outside, having more energy, being less sleepy, being able to lift off her foot more easily, and her foot stays to the ground much more firmly when she is standing. She thought it was “super cool here” in the recoveriX training center. While her memory and attentiveness have always been strong, her coordination has also improved. She traded in her three-point walking stick for “LEKI” Nordic walking sticks. She added that her hand had grown stronger in the end.
