RehaStim is a stimulation device offering a wide range of applications and an ease of use which is unique in Europe.

It is the heart of the RehaMove FES Cycling system.

Controlled by several internal micro computers, RehaStim meets all demands for the application of electrical stimulation in the clinical or home environments.

RehaStim is the foundation device for numerous Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) application systems. Through special inputs and outputs, RehaStim can be connected to further devices. The device design aims to maximise patient safety.

The stimulator provides a number of application programs for practical use. In Science Mode, the user can flexibly control stimulation with a PC via a USB interface - a highlight for clinical research!

This product is a highly flexible choice for those clinicians who wish to use Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) in therapy, rehabilitation or as part of the RehaBike and RehaMove systems.

The stimulation channels of the RehaStim - up to 8 channels - are situated in two modules with 4 channels each, electrically isolated from other application components.

On each module a microcomputer manages time-critical tasks and ensures that the legal norms for electrical stimulation are met.  Thus extremely fast and very short impulse sequences can be generated.

Further microprocessors are responsible for complex operations and special application tasks.

To control the stimulation the programs can access external analogue and digital input signals. The stimulator can be adapted to various fields of application by exchanging the software.

To operate the stimulator a touch screen with a graphical display similar to a PC is used. For specific applications a customised interface is possible. By touching the display and following the intuitive user guidance, adjusting the stimulator becomes mere child’s play.

You save valuable time!

Of particular importance are special RehaStim inputs and outputs, where further devices can be plugged in. Thus you can put complex systems for Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) into practice. In this way the RehaStim becomes a basic device for systems such as the RehaBike or RehaMove.

Through a USB connection the stimulator can be controlled by a standard PC computer. The Science Mode offers completely new possibilities for clinical research applications. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RehaStim can implement a wide range of tasks when applying electrical stimulation sequences in diagnostics and therapy.

The main emphasis is on the field of Functional Electrical Stimulation, as implemented in RehaBike and RehaMove. Combined with further devices, RehaStim can be used to control additional movement sequences for paralysed limbs such as standing up, straightening up, gripping etc.

Of course, RehaStim can also be applied to improve muscle function (activation and building up of muscles, boosting the blood circulation), to reduce spasticity, to treat pain and incontinence, and for many other purposes.

RehaStim is used among other things in the following applications:

RehaMove - Ergometer training with Functional Electrical Stimulation:
Motor powered ergometers form a part of standard therapy in movement disorders, for example after stroke or accidents.

RehaBike - Tricycling for paraplegic people by means of Functional Electrical Stimulation: The RehaBike enables people affected by paralysis to ride a tricycle using the muscular power of their own legs.
