What Neurotech has to offer the physiotherapy community
Whether you are looking for an alternative way to relieve pain or a quicker rebound from surgery, Neurotech® has the solution for you. For over 40 years, they have worked with healthcare professionals and patients to design and develop pain management and rehabilitation devices that are effective and deliver on promised results. They also offer a range of accessories to compliment these devices.
Muscle Rehabilitation
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation or NMES is a widely used and clinically proven therapy to restore normal muscle function. NMES aids rehabilitation by activating and strengthening weakened muscles through pads placed on the skin, which deliver a comfortable electrical pulse to the surface of the skin. This triggers the muscles to contract, helping to effectively strengthen muscles. Neurotech® NMES devices offer high quality, easy to use, effective home based therapy to complement your rehabilitation program.
- Kneehab® XP works by re-educating and strengthening the quadriceps muscle through cycles of contraction and relaxation. It can be used to improve joint stability and treat quadriceps atrophy resulting from a wide range of conditions affecting the knee. Kneehab XP is clinically proven to accelerate recovery times from serious knee injury, and has also been found to increase muscle strength and hasten functional recovery following TKA. Further clinical research on the rehabilitative benefits of Kneehab is currently underway.

The Kneehab XP Sports Information Pack, Get Back in the Game, features insights from leading sportspeople, such as Phil Jones, defender with Manchester United and England, on their experiences of using Kneehab XP as part of their rehabilitation program.
- MediStim® XP was developed to prevent or slow down the atrophy or weakening of muscle often associated with reduced mobility.
- Combistim XP combines Electrical Muscle Stimulation and EMG for the rehabilitation of muscle weakness in both orthopaedic and neurological conditions.
Pain Management
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a widely used and clinically proven therapy for the effective treatment of both acute and chronic pain. TENS fights pain by applying mild electrical pulses through pads placed on the skin which results in greatly reduced patient pain and discomfort.
- Baxolve® XP is an innovative means of controlling back pain, using two clinically proven therapies, TENS and Lumbar Support, in one integrated belt.
- MediTens® XP is a clinically proven, safe and effective means of providing a drug-free method of pain relief. MediTens XP is a dual channel, easy to use, hand-held unit that can help to manage and relieve your pain.
- MediTens® XP for Labour is a clinically proven, safe and effective means of providing a drug-free method of pain relief during labour. MediTens XP is a digital, fully portable and lightweight device with an in-built trigger device, allowing you to target and maximise your pain relief when contractions occur.
Bladder Control Therapy
Incontinence or poor bladder control, affects millions of men and women of all ages worldwide and can have a profound impact on the lives of sufferers. It is often felt that there is no cure and patients feel the need to plan their lives around their condition. Neurotech® products can help to treat the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
- Confidence® XP uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation, or EMS, which aids in restoring normal muscle function by activating and strengthening weakened muscles. Regular use of this unit will strengthen the pelvic floor and help to restore normal muscle function.
- CombiStim XP is a digital device providing Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and Electromyography (EMG) for the treatment of incontinence at home and in-clinic. The incorporation of EMG allows the clinician to access and measure the actual muscle activity, thus ensuring the correct and most effective treatment possible for the patient.
Braces
This new Neurotech® bracing product offers a treatment for arthritis patients suffering from medial knee pain. It helps stabilize the knee joint which relieves pain and increases mobility. It has been through rigorous testing and has been shown to provide the wearer with a very high level of comfort which in turn allows them to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
- Quattromed® introduces a new treatment option for arthritis patients suffering from medial knee pain (the medial side of the knee is the side closest to the other knee). This brace was designed using a non-invasive approach, to provide offloading within and mild compression around the knee joint.
