Product Details

The VitalStim® Plus system combines neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) and sEMG biofeedback to help patients with dysphagia strengthen swallowing muscles and restore function. VitalStim® treatment delivers stimulation in Co-Contraction mode with up to four channels.

VMS Treatment allows customized protocols by adjusting frequency, duration, and sequencing to mirror natural swallowing. sEMG provides real-time visual and auditory feedback, while sEMG+Triggered Stim delivers stimulation once the patient reaches a set threshold for added exercise intensity.

With built-in instructional videos, an anatomical image library, Bluetooth screen mirroring, and exportable treatment data, VitalStim® Plus creates an engaging, patient-focused therapy experience that supports measurable progress.

Features & Benefits

  • VitalStim Treatment: The VitalStim waveform is delivered in Co-Contraction Mode. Up to four separate channels deliver stimulation concurrently and pause at the same time.
  • VMS Treatment: Customize your treatment protocol by adjusting the parameters of your 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 more 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.
  • Education Videos: VitalStim Plus includes videos that help demonstrate key therapeutic exercises, such as the Masako Exercise, the Mendelsohn Maneuver, the Supraglottic Maneuver, and various Electrode Placements Options.
  • 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.
  • Treatment data on stimulation and sEMG can be stored, displayed or exported to a PC to track patient progress and generate reports.
