The EXOPULSE Suit is a medical device composed of 50 electrodes capable of stimulating up to 43 major muscle groups throughout the body. The multisite electrical stimulation relaxes tense and spastic muscles, thereby enhancing mobility and balance. This non-invasive body garment is intended for home use and should be used for 1 hour every other day. This research aims to confirm the benefits of the EXOPULSE Suit in individuals with Multiple Sclerosis, including improvements in walking ability.
