Advanced Muscle Stimulators, LLC

NT2000-TES

Description:

 

Threshold Electrical Stimulation (TES) is a form of Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) however unlike conventional NMES, TES is applied at the sensory level giving only a very low level of stimulation over a long period of time. The equipment consists of a small two channel pocket sized NMES stimulator, wire leads and four electrodes, which the patient wears at night in order to improve blood flow and grow more muscle tissue.

 

Price: $825.00

What is TES?

 

TES is a form of Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), however unlike conventional NMES TES is applied at the sensory level giving only a very low level of stimulation over a long period of time. The equipment consists of a small two channel pocket sized NMES stimulator, wire leads and four electrodes.

 

How does TES feel?

 

The stimulation is painless and takes place at night during sleep. Some children call it their “Tickle Machine” or describe the stimulation sensation as “Butterfly Kisses”. This unit has specific safety features for home use on children during sleep that are not available in other NMES units.

 

How is TES used?

 

TES is used at home at night during sleep. The user of TES receive 10-12 hours of pain free muscle stimulation with the aim of developing more muscle substance that can then be strengthened and integrated into improved function.

 

What is TES used for?

 

Threshold Electrical Stimulation (TES) is a cost effective, home based electrical stimulation program used to treat Disuse Muscle Atrophy (DMA).

 

What is Disuse Muscle Atrophy (DMA)?

 

DMA is wasting of muscle tissue due to non-use or low use of the muscle. If a limb is in a cast for a period of time the muscles that have not been used will have disuse atrophy and they will appear significantly smaller and be very weak. Most people do not realize that all children and adults with neurological problems have muscle weakness caused by disuse atrophy in addition to the neurological problem.

 

Is TES approved by the FDA?

 

Prevention and/or retardation of Disuse Muscle Atrophy (DMA) is one of the FDA approved indications for use of electrical stimulation. The ICDM9 code for DMA is 728.2 and it is the primary indication for using a TES unit. Improved muscle function with increased sensory awareness can result within a short time of using this technology.

 

Is there any evidence that TES works?

 

Clinical studies have confirmed that muscle growth and strength can be improved, and spasticity may be decreased with the use of Threshold Electrical Stimulation (TES). Individuals with mild motor impairment saw improvements in balance and walking skills. Individuals with moderate impairment demonstrated decreased dependence on assistive devices such as walkers and crutches. The most severely affected individuals showed improvements in posture and balance for independent sitting, improved arm and hand function, and improved vocal skills due to better trunk control.
