VitalStim Plus

The VitalStim Plus provides interactive therapy that allows patients to receive visual and audible feedback leading to enhanced patient engagement during swallowing exercises. The device supplements a standard therapy program with sEMG biofeedback facilitates functional swallowing recovery.

Swallow in Action:

Project live treatment progress onto a computer or tablet screen. The Screen Mirroring technology allows clinician to guide patients through personalized, targeted swallowing exercises that increase patient intensity and duration. 

Immediate Patient Progress Data: 

Quantify treatment progression with objective data that demonstrate outcomes for each therapy session. 

The Taste of Independence: 

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. Preset or customized programs allow the provider to customize treatments while biofeedback and visuals create a patient-focused experience that encourages engagement and achievement of goals.

VMS Treatment: 

Customize treatment protocol by adjusting the parameters of 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 closely match the natural swallowing sequence.

sEMG Treatment: 

Electrical signals in the muscle are measured and displayed on a screen and are amplified 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.

 Anatomical Library: 

VitalStim Plus includes a Dysphagia image library of Anatomy, Pathology and Therapeutic Treatment options to assist in educating your patient.

Bluetooth Technology: 

Screen mirroring technology projects your live treatment onto a computer or tablet screen. This allows you to guide therapeutic exercise activities and increase patient engagement.

Patient Data: 

Treatment data on stimulation and sEMG can be stored,
