Daily Therapy Model
Full-body Wearable Therapy™ for SCI
Wearable devices for individuals living with spinal cord injuries, designed to support mobility and independence.
Understanding Your Condition
Spinal cord injuries can dramatically impact mobility and quality of life. AxioBionics provides wearable devices that work with your body to support function, maintain muscle mass, and support limb circulation. Our FDA-cleared devices deliver TENS, NMES, and FES therapy that can be used at home, extending beyond the clinic walls.
Benefits of Wearable Therapy™
How AxioBionics helps with Spinal Cord Injury
Maintains muscle mass
Manages muscle spasms
Manages pain
Increases range of motion
Supports limb circulation
Supports muscle re-education
Management & Therapy
Between therapy sessions, affected muscles remain dormant. Our approach combines TENS, NMES, and FES with wearable technology to convert muscles from dormancy to actively engaged in contractions and therapy throughout the day, every day. This allows for extended therapy times that would be impossible with traditional clinic-based sessions alone.
Beyond the Clinic
Traditional rehabilitation is limited to clinic hours. With AxioBionics Wearable Therapy™, you can continue your therapy at home, during daily activities, even while resting. Our systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into your lifestyle — greatly extending therapeutic time without the burden of additional clinic visits.
Common Symptoms
- Paralysis or weakness in limbs
- Loss of sensation
- Muscle spasms
- Chronic pain
- Reduced mobility

Preventing Regression
Once gains are made, it's critical to maintain them. Without ongoing treatment, a paralyzed arm will tend to regress. In most cases, the regression is faster and more severe than the original loss. All-day management is required to manage the effects of paralysis. Our Upper Extremity BioSleeve® is designed for all-day management of the paralyzed arm.
Drew Clayborn: Living with Quadriplegia
Drew uses a full AxioBionics garment suite 3 to 5 hours a day. The wearable therapy exercises his muscles so well that his fingers and toes have never curled up — eliminating the need for braces on his hands or feet. Since beginning Wearable Therapy™, Drew has had virtually no loss of muscle, very good muscle tone, and minimal spasms.
Wearable Therapy for High-Level Spinal Cord Injury
AxioBionics specializes in wearable therapy for spinal cord injury, including those with high-level SCI in need of muscle stimulation and pain alleviation for all muscles or areas of the body.
Precise Electrode Placement for Targeted Therapy
Our clinicians use self-adhesive electrodes to perform muscle testing and identify the optimal placement points for each patient. This personalized approach ensures that electrical stimulation is delivered precisely where it is needed most, maximizing therapeutic benefit.
