A pioneering study involving Dr. Efthimios Kouloulas, Scientific Director of the Physiatriki Rehabilitation Unit in Greece, was recently published in the international medical literature. The study highlights the effectiveness of extracorporeal spasticity management through high-intensity magnetic stimulation in a patient with post-stroke spasticity—a common and debilitating complication in many neurological conditions.
The research demonstrates that high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation can significantly reduce spasticity in post-stroke patients, offering new hope for improved neurological rehabilitation.
