David's Story

David was fitted with a BioSleeve 10 years after his brain injury. At that time, his affected arm was atrophied, contracted, stiff, and cold from lack of proper circulation.

Before Wearable Therapy™, David used his arm just 4% of the time. After using the BioSleeve, he now uses it 80% of the time. He also uses a Wearable Therapy™ system for left foot drop correction and spasm control, and a BioVest for back muscle spasms.

"I've had thousands of hours of muscle therapy without carving time from my daily life," David explains. Typical in-clinic therapy provides 12 to 36 hours per year, while wearing the BioSleeve 12 hours a day can deliver up to 4,000 hours of therapy per year.

His mother Linda says: "This technology has lowered the cost to manage David's condition and yet provided him with unprecedented results that I thought he would never achieve. He'd plateaued a long time ago." She took pictures on vacation, happy to watch her son walk on sand and hold a fishing pole.

David's need for medications has greatly decreased, and his mother believes Wearable Therapy™ is "something that should be offered to patients as early as possible to prevent atrophy and to move the patient along much faster."
