TheQB1systemputsaccesstoaccelerated
recoveryinyourhandsthroughjusttwofunctions:
thebracetostabilizeandrestrictyourhealing
kneeandtheNMESstimulationsystemtocombat
muscleatrophy.
Bywearingyourbracethroughouttheday,you
benetfromboththestabilityandthecontrolof
rangeofmotionitprovides,allowingyourkneeto
safelyhealandregainfunction.
Thebracecomfortablysecuresyourkneewith
simplestrapsand,ifrecommendedbyyourdoctor,
canrestrictyourknee’sexionandextensionwith
thehingelock.
Unlikethebrace,youwillonlyusetheNMES
stimulationthreetimesadayfor20-minute
sessions.It’srecommendedthatyoudothissix
daysperweek,toachievebestresults.
Whiletheelectricalstimulationmayfeelunusual,
itshouldnotbeuncomfortableorhurt.Yourquad
muscleswilltenseunderstimulationforseveral
seconds,andthenrelaxbeforeanotherstimulation
roundbegins.
EachNMESsessionwillfollowafewsimplesteps:
(1) Remove electrode covers.
(2)Plugthecontrollerintothebraceconnector.
(3)Selectthetreatmenttypeonthescreenas
directedbyyourdoctor.
(4)Dialintheintensitylevelofboththeknee
andthighareasforastrongbutcomfortable
stimulation.
(5)Select“Start”tobeginthe20-minutesession.
(6)Whenyou’venishedyourtreatmentsession,
disconnectandpoweroffthecontroller.Replace
the electrode covers.
Duringyoursession,youcanenjoypassive,seated
activitieswhiletheQB1systemperformsyour
rehabilitationforyou!

AnACLinjurylimitsyourabilitytoenjoyan
active,athleticlifestyle.ACLrepairsurgery
representstherstmajorsteptoreturning
tonormalactivity.However,youwillhave
toovercomeadditionalhurdlesduringyour
rehabilitationprocess.
Typically,healingandrehabilitationrequires
along,strenuousprocess–onefocused
oncontrollingpainandswelling,aswellas
stabilizingyourjointandrestoringitsnormal
rangeofmotion.
Hinderingyourrehabilitationprogressisa
common condition called quadriceps (quad)
atrophy,whichweakensyourlegmuscles,
affectingyourgaitandpossiblyleadingto
longerrehabilitation.
