Why won’t the foot turn out?
One of the biggest challenges after a stroke isn’t just weakness-it’s that the brain can no longer effectively activate certain muscles.
So how do you strengthen muscles that the brain can’t voluntarily turn on?
💪That’s where Emsculpt NEO comes in.
Using advanced HIFEM® technology, Emsculpt NEO produces powerful, supramaximal muscle contractions that activate muscles the patient simply cannot recruit on their own. This allows us to begin rebuilding strength in the muscles responsible for externally rotating and abducting the leg and foot-critical components of a more stable, confident gait.
But strengthening the muscles is only half the equation…
🧠 We pair this with Exomind, which is designed to help stimulate the brain and support neuroplasticity-the brain’s remarkable ability to create new neural pathways after injury. As the muscles become stronger with Emsculpt NEO, Exomind helps reinforce the brain’s communication with those muscles, encouraging better motor control and movement patterns.
Together, we’re addressing both the hardware and the software:
-Stronger muscles
-Better brain-to-muscle communication
-Improved stability
-Better balance
-More confident walking
Stroke recovery isn’t about accepting limitations, it’s about giving the brain and body every opportunity to recover together.
If you or someone you know is recovering from a stroke, this innovative combination of rehabilitation, Emsculpt NEO, and Exomind may offer possibilities you didn’t know existed.
