Various studies2,3,4have shown that electrical stimulation from the NESS H200 significantly improves the active and passive range of motion.
Shown below are two graphs from two studies which illustrate this.
Passive range of motion2 This graph shows the effect (on the x-axis) and (on the y-axis) the number of joints for which the range of motion improved after six months of treatment
Active range of motion4 The x-axis shows the joint and motion measured while the y-axis shows the number of degrees of improvement after an average of 13 weeks’ treatment.
