Avid CT2 neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and interferential current therapy

 

The Avid CT2 provides an adjunctive treatment to facilitate progress in rehabilitation by using NMES to prevent atrophy, strengthen muscles and increase circulation to facilitate healing.  The Avid CT2 also provides a non-narcotic, non-addictive and non-invasive treatment for acute, chronic and post-op pain using interferential therapy. Plus, its remote monitoring technology collects and analyzes detailed patient data including pain levels, functional improvements, medication reductions, compliance and daily usage to help meet treatment goals.

 

What is neuromuscular electrical stimulation?

NMES stands for “neuromuscular electrical stimulation” and refers to the stimulation of muscles by electricity.  NMES devices use timers that turn the stimulation on and off, simulating a contract/relax cycle, similar to exercise. NMES is commonly used in physical therapy to strengthen muscles where there is atrophy or weakness and to retrain muscles where there is an imbalance.  More recent research has used NMES to reduce muscle atrophy caused by aging or prolonged immobilization in chronically ill patients.  For those with a recent surgery or injury, NMES can be used to facilitate recovery and restore function.

Clinical Research

Remote Monitoring of Patient Outcome Data and Compliance

With the convenient Avid CT2 app, clinicians can collect and review critical outcome data to assess treatment effectiveness and monitor compliance. Patients simply download the Bluetooth-enabled app, which connects to their device and transmits information via secure connection to a centralized encrypted website. A report is generated for clinician review and treatment assessment.

  • Track pain levels before and after Avid CT2 treatment
  • Monitor medication reductions and functional improvements
  • Access compliance and daily usage data
  • Download the Avid app via the Google Play or Apple App Store

Pain Levels Tracking

The Avid CT2 empowers patients to rate their pain using a 0 to 10 scale before and after treatment. Results are aggregated for clinician review and treatment assessment.
