Description:
Knees
are operated on for a wide range of reasons, leaving the joint stiff
and sore - sometimes for many weeks.
BioStim
helps to relieve pain and speed the rate of healing. It can be used
from the first day after surgery and all the way through to full rehabilitation.
When appropriate, BioStim can be used to strengthen
the leg muscles which will be weak through inactivity.
Placement
of Applicators:
One
electrode on either side of the knee.
