VitalStim är ett arbetsredskap för terapeuter och logopeder som arbetar med dysfagi. VitalStim, fokuserad muskelstimulering, blir ett verktyg i kombination med existerande klinisk praxis och en integrerad del av behandlingen av dysfagi.
VitalStim Plus - Activate the Power to Swallow
Project live treatment progress onto a computer or tablet screen. The Screen Mirroring technology allowsclinicians to guide patients through personalized, targeted swallowing exercises. Preset or customized
programs allow the provider to truly customize treatments while biofeedback and visuals create
a patient-focused experience that encourages engagement and achievement of goals.
VitalStim Plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation helps recruit and re-educate muscles in the process of
swallowing. Under the guidance of a clinician, patients partner in an interactive therapy that aids muscle strengthening to rehabilitate swallowing.
sEMG biofeedback helps to increase effort and duration of swallowing attempts and to improve coordination. It also offers the potential for objective evaluation of swallowing function and patterns.
VitalStim treatment
The VitalStim waveform is delivered in Co-Contraction Mode. Up to four separate channels deliver stimulation
concurrently and pause at the same time.
VMS Treatment
You are in control! Customize your treatment protocol by adjusting the parameters of your choice, such as
Phase Duration, Frequency, and Work and Rest Time. VMS treatment offers even more flexibility by allowing you
to sequence the stimulation in the various channels to more closely match the natural swallowing sequence.
sEMG Treatment
Electrical signals in the muscle are measured and displayed on a screen and are amplifed into sounds that the
patient can hear. This feedback increases patient effort and participation, and provides the data and documentation required to measure patient outcomes and quantify progress.
sEMG + Triggered Stim
The patient initiates the swallowing exercise with the assistance of sEMG biofeedback. When the set threshold
is reached, VitalStim Plus will switch to stimulation mode to increase the effort and exercise load.
