Kneehab is an innovative and clinically proven, garment-based Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) device. It is designed specifically to treat quadriceps atrophy (thigh muscle wastage). It re-educates the muscle by sending gentle electrical pulses through pads placed on the surface of the skin. This electrical stimulation applied to the motor nerve re-educates and strengthens the quadriceps muscle through cycles of contraction and relaxation.

Please note: The Kneehab is available for UK purchases / rentals only

What Professionals Say About Kneehab:

Professional Footballer

Phil Jones used Kneehab XP to help his recovery after knee surgery

" Kneehab XP was easy to use, and helped to reinforce the gym-based rehabilitation program provided by my medical team. I would recommend the unit to anybody undergoing rehabilitation following knee surgery ”.

Phil Jones, Manchester United & England defender

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

" I have been recommending neurotech's Kneehab unit to my knee injury patients for over twelve months and find it to be very effective adjunct during rehabilitation. Kneehab is a product that can aid rehabilitation across a range of knee injuries and conditions, from ACL reconstructions to total knee replacements. My patients have found Kneehab to be very effective in overcoming their quadriceps atrophy and their compliance has increased due to the convenience and ease of use of the product. By simplifying the application of stimulation to the quadriceps, Kneehab aids patients in returning to their normal lifestyle as soon as possible. I will continue to recommend Kneehab where quadriceps atrophy is an issue for my patients. " Mr Richard Creedo

Chartered Physiotherapist

" EMS for knee rehabilitation is an excellent adjunct to any home exercise programme for quadriceps atrophy and inhibition. The ability to carry out home EMS allows time at the clinic to be optimised with clinician dependant treatment. Electrical Stimulation as part of a multimodal approach should enhance patient care while the ease of use of the Kneehab garment should increase patient compliance and satisfaction. EMS is a serious therapy that should be given due consideration in rehabilitation. "
Mr Johnson McEvoy

Professional Ice Skater

Christopher Dean uses Kneehab to manage pain and reduce swelling in the knees.

" Someone of my age and body shouldn't be skating as much as I do. If you tally the distance I have skated constant stress on my knees is immense. Over the past 5 years I have suffered a lot of pain in both in my career I most probably have skated 3 or 4 time around the world. Skating is performed in a semi flexed position so the knees, because of various reasons - impact, constant use, tears etc.

This past year I tried out Kneehab XP by neurotech. I found it very useful, I was able to manage pain and reduce swelling, thus keeping me going through an intense work period. It was easy to use. When I was actually working, or just relaxing, I was getting the benefits from its use. The Kneehab XP will now become part of my skating kit, because I believe it managed my knee issues, along with my very knowledgeable physio we overcame knee issues before they escalated into something less manageable. "

Christopher Dean OBE, Olympic Gold Medallist & Professional Ice Skater

Sports Physiotherapists

David Fevre has used Kneehab XP to treat his players.

" Kneehab has been extremely useful in the early post-op stages of rehabilitation when muscle contraction is difficult to initiate due to surgical pain. It is easy to apply and reapply and the hand held unit is remarkably simple to use. In professional sport, where injury prevents competitive participation the Kneehab has become one of the many tools available to keep ‘injury time out’ to a minimum. ”

David Fevre MSc MCSP SRP,Senior Chartered Physiotherapist, Blackburn Rovers Football Club

Isla Scott of the Scott Physiotherapy Clinic, Isle of Man, used Kneehab to help treat James Ellison, British Superbike racer.

“ I had the privilege of working with James Ellison, a leading competitor for the 2010 British Superbike title. James had the misfortune of suffering a serious crash whilst competing at Thruxton this April, sustaining a compound mid-shaft fracture of his right femur.

Following surgery involving IM nail and interlocking screws, James visited the Isle of Man for twice-daily hyperbaric oxygen therapy and intensive daily physiotherapy with me.

James’ initial progress was slow despite his diligent commitment to the rehab program, hampered as it was by tethering around the fracture site telescoping towards the bone. Nearly complete quadriceps inhibition had been present from the onset of treatment and there was a quads lag of 30 degrees.

At my suggestion, James incorporated the Neurotech Kneehab XP quadriceps muscle stimulator into his physiotherapy regime and he was keen on the idea to say the least! Jonathan, the neurotech clinical specialist provided ongoing technical support to push the protocol as aggressively as possible, liaising directly with James between physic sessions with advice on treatment progression.

The Kneehab XP performed brilliantly in addressing James’ inhibition issues and enabling him to overcome the quadriceps lag. I am very happy to say that in the space of five short weeks James made an almost superhuman recovery! He achieved full range of movement, very good quadriceps strength for this stage, and is even back riding his mountain bike!

James continues to use his Kneehab XP in increased weight bearing positions and has described the equipment as ‘awesome.’ Both the surgeon and I are delighted with James’ progress and it was an incredible achievement for him to be able to return to racing so quickly at Mallory Park in July. ”
