Suited for treatment of brain damage



Garment developed at KTH can increase mobility and reduce pain

For those with brain damage or neurological disorders, treatment could be as close as the wardrobe.

An alternative to painful treatments and surgery for brain damage may now be available with a specially-designed elastic body suit fitted with electrodes, which was designed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in collaboration with health care and business partners.

The Mollii garment could improve range of motion and reduce pain for people with brain injuries and neurological disorders such as MS and cerebral palsy.
