Implants / HardwareUpdated 2 years ago

If you have been cleared to use other electrical stimulation devices, you should be cleared to also use NeuroMD. 

We do not recommend using the NeuroMD Corrective Therapy Device over any metallic implants.

Here is a Clinical Study that discusses the safety of NMES use with implants:

The influence of orthopaedic implants on patient tolerance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES).

"Results indicated that the presence of a metallic implant did not give rise to hypersensitivity to NMES. Patients found the application of calf muscle NMES comfortable and acceptable as a treatment. We conclude that use of NMES on postoperative orthopaedic patients can be safely considered as a DVT prevention method." - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21096915/

As always, we recommend consulting with your physician before starting any exercise program or treatment modality.
