Does anyone know where I can purchase an Electrical Stimulator or EMS Unit, to help me rebuild my leg muscles? I have one but if something were to happen to it, I would be without it for awhile until it's repaired. So I need one for back-up.

I'm not familiar with these items but I did a search on Google and found these. Maybe one of them is the type you need. If not, ask your primary physician or specialist, or a PT or OT for suggestions.

I would be careful of the EMS units.. I had the reverse reaction to it. It totally made me weaker and it's not supposed to do that.

I have Cerebral Palsy therapists and doctors aren't sure why It didn't work for me.

I'll sell you mine its practically brand new still has new pads even. If you like waisting time. They are about as useful as a standing frame. blah!

But seriously I'd let mine go reasonably...

Do you not use a or your standing frame anymore Nick?

I use mine all the time.What ever it does while I am standing I am not really sure but it does feel good to stand up and stretch.

Well I have one that I got back in the '90's when I went to The Petrofsky Center in L.A. to get trained to use it and for threapy, but I need a backup in case I need it repaired or new leads. I have been using mine again and see a lot of new muscle tone around my butt and some in my legs. How much do you want for yours Pitbullnp?
