Summary

This completed study tested the EXOPULSE Mollii suit, a full-body garment with 58 electrodes, in 30 stroke survivors who had muscle stiffness (spasticity) and balance problems. The suit stimulates muscles to reduce spasticity and improve balance. Researchers measured balance changes using the Berg Balance Scale after active and sham sessions, and after 4 weeks of regular use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: EXOPULSE Mollii suit (a full-body garment with 58 electrodes that stimulate muscles to reduce spasticity)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to help stroke survivors with spasticity improve their balance and mobility.
What could go wrong: This was a small, completed trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not a cure and only targets symptoms.
