Exopulse Mollii Suit

In the years that Louisa has struggled with MS, she’s seen many of its “thousand faces.” But when spasticity started to affect her mobility, she soon began to wonder how much of her life she’d still be able to live. She struggled to walk, write, and climb the steps to her university library – until she discovered the Exopulse Mollii Suit. With the help of this new device – which she proudly calls her “Superhero Suit” – Louisa was finally able to break free from her MS-related spasticity symptoms. Now, she’s rediscovering who she really is: not just someone struggling with MS, but a vibrant young person with her whole life ahead of her. Her new superpower: feeling like everything’s possible again.

Michele was close to finishing a university degree when his symptoms of dystonic tetraparesis began to worsen. Soon, he found himself struggling to move, walk, and stay connected with his friends, family, and community. He knew it was time for a new approach to managing his condition. His family found the perfect graduation gift: the Exopulse Mollii Suit. Michele felt almost immediate relief and never looked back. Today, even dystonic tetraparesis is no match for the confidence, energy, and positivity that the Suit helps him sustain. His new superpower: hugging his loved ones again!

The muscles in your body are grouped in ways that help them balance, control and counteract each other’s movements. Spasticity disrupts the way these groups work together. It both tightens affected muscles while weakening the opposing ones, often immobilizing the whole group. The Exopulse Mollii Suit is designed to restore the normal, healthy balance of muscle groups throughout the body. It does so using a well-known technique called “neuromodulation”: a method that helps the body move more freely by changing (or “modulating”) the way muscle nerves behave.

Neuromodulation is a technology that acts directly upon nerves with the purpose of producing a natural biological response. It is the alteration – or modulation – of nerve activity by delivering electrical agents directly to a target area.

There are several different forms of neuromodulation. The Suit uses one based on gently stimulating affected muscle groups with electrical signals. This approach has been shown to help reset muscle signals disrupted by spasticity and resync muscle groups that may have stopped working together the way they should.

Embedded in the Suit are 58 electrodes that send gentle, barely perceptible pulses to both tense, spastic muscles and the weakened muscles that counterbalance them. These pulses both release the tense muscles and reactivate the weak ones, restoring the group’s natural balance and helping the body once more move the way it should.
