(EMS) device designed specifically to treat quadriceps atrophy (thigh muscle
wastage).

Press Release Body: KNEEHAB®, from neurotech, is a unique, innovative and clinically
proven, garment or 'thigh wrap' based Electrical Muscular Stimulation (EMS) device
designed specifically to treat quadriceps atrophy (thigh muscle wastage).

Clinical research has proven EMS technology to be an effective treatment for
quadriceps atrophy, which is associated with almost all knee injuries. The use of
EMS and KNEEHAB® can significantly reduce your rehabilitation time and improve your
quality of life

Anyone who suffers from muscle weakness in the knee will benefit from using KNEEHAB.
Muscle wastage can result from a wide range of conditions, injuries or surgeries
affecting the knee such as ACL Reconstruction, Knee Replacement Surgery, Ligament
Damage, Arthritis, General muscle Weakness and many more.

The benefits of KNEEHAB:
. Clinically Proven: Clinical research has shown EMS and KNEEHAB to be effective in
treating thigh muscle weakness and to significantly reduce rehabilitation time,
thereby helping you return to normal activities faster.
. Easy to Use: KNEEHAB is a garment based (thing wrap) 'all in one' product. Once it
has been initially set up, you just strap it to your thigh and switch the unit on.
. Home Therapy Convenience: KNEEHAB is ideal for home use and can be used at a time
that suits you. KNEEHAB's design enables error free and repeatable treatment at
home.
. Comfort: The incorporation of MULTIPATH technology ensures the most comforatable
and effective contractions.
. Pre-op/ Post-op Strengthening: KNEEHAB can be used both pre and post operatively
to limit muscle wastage and speed recovery.

MULTIPATH:
KNEEHAB incorporates MULTIPATH, a patented breakthrough stimulation technology
developed by neurotech which enables KNEEHAB to deliver highly focused, accurately
coordinated and comforatble quadriceps contractions.

There are two channels within MULTIPATH®, Channel 1 and Channel 2. Channel 1
directly activates the VMO muscle, which is the main stabilizer of the knee. Channel
2 activates the bulk quadriceps muscle which provides a strong, comfortable and
highly effective contraction, or activation of the muscle

MULTIPATH works by sending co-ordinated electrical pulses through the electrode pads
on the skin. The co-ordination between the pulse strength and delivery results in an
advanced form of EMS technology with greater comfort for the patient and stronger,
more effective contractions of the muscle which results in better outcomes and
faster recovery times.
