Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) uses low-energy electrical pulses to activate nerves and muscles, creating functional movements like dorsiflexion (foot drop correction) or quadriceps contraction (knee stability). The Chattanooga Wireless Pro adds wireless freedom, muscle intelligence auto-calibration, and multi-session management.
Delivers precisely timed stimulation during gait or exercise to retrain movement patterns. Essential for foot drop, hemiplegic gait, and ACL recovery.
Contracts muscles to prevent atrophy, increase strength, and improve range of motion. Used post-surgery and in neurological conditions.
Blocks pain signals via Gate Control Theory and stimulates endorphin release. Can run simultaneously with NMES on separate channels.
Muscle Intelligence scans your muscle response and auto-adjusts pulse width, frequency, and intensity for optimal, personalized stimulation.

FES of the common peroneal nerve and tibialis anterior creates dorsiflexion during the swing phase of gait — correcting foot drop after stroke or nerve injury.
NMES prevents disuse atrophy in paretic limbs while FES retrains functional movement patterns. Critical in the first 3–6 months post-stroke.
Quadriceps re-education after ACL reconstruction. NMES recruits VMO and rectus femoris when voluntary activation is inhibited by pain and swelling.
Prevents and reverses muscle wasting in immobilized limbs, bedridden patients, and post-surgical cases where loading is restricted.
Reciprocal inhibition via FES can reduce spasticity in antagonist muscles while strengthening agonists — restoring balanced joint control.
Wireless freedom allows athletes to perform sport-specific drills while receiving stimulation — accelerating return-to-play timelines.
FES is a powerful tool for anyone whose muscles need re-education, strengthening, or functional support. Our team assesses every candidate for safety and suitability.
If you have foot drop, hemiplegic gait, or muscle weakness after stroke, FES retrains movement patterns while preventing disuse atrophy. Best started within 3–6 months post-stroke.
After ACL reconstruction or knee surgery, the quadriceps often shuts down (arthrogenic muscle inhibition). NMES recruits these muscles when voluntary contraction is impossible.
Wireless freedom lets athletes perform sport-specific movements while receiving stimulation — bridging the gap between rehab and return-to-play faster than bed-based recovery.
Bedridden patients, immobilized limbs, or post-surgical cases where loading is restricted benefit from NMES to maintain muscle mass and circulation.
Electrical impulses delivered through surface electrodes depolarize motor nerves, causing muscle contraction. The Wireless Pro uses biphasic compensated rectangular pulses (30–400 μs, 1–150 Hz) for safe, comfortable, and effective stimulation.
Traditional wired stimulators restrict patients to a treatment bed or chair. The Chattanooga Wireless Pro removes cables entirely — patients walk, squat, reach, and perform functional tasks while receiving stimulation. This transforms passive NMES into active FES, engaging the brain's motor learning circuits and producing functional carryover to real-world movement. Clinical studies show that task-specific FES produces greater functional gains than passive stimulation alone.
Biphasic pulses depolarize motor nerve axons, triggering action potentials that propagate to the neuromuscular junction and produce muscle contraction.
The device scans muscle excitability and automatically sets optimal pulse parameters — eliminating guesswork and ensuring patient-specific dosing.
Therapist or patient activates stimulation on demand via a trigger button — ideal for gait training where timing of dorsiflexion is critical.
The smart docking station synchronizes up to 4 wireless modules, enabling treatment of multiple body regions or multiple patients simultaneously.
Run TENS on one channel for pain relief while running NMES on another for muscle strengthening — all during active exercise.
DakshinRehab in Moosapet, Hyderabad is one of the few clinics offering wireless FES with Muscle Intelligence. Walk in for assessment — no hospital referral needed.
“The Wireless Pro changed how I treat foot drop. Instead of stimulating a muscle on a bed, we stimulate it while the patient walks across the room. That is the difference between moving a muscle and learning to walk again.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Human Movement Specialist, Physiotherapist

The only clinic in Moosapet offering wireless functional stimulation with Muscle Intelligence
No cables means unrestricted movement. Walk, run, squat, and reach while receiving stimulation — bridging the gap between clinic and real life.
Auto-calibration ensures every patient gets personalized, optimal stimulation parameters — not one-size-fits-all presets.
Active movement + stimulation engages motor learning circuits in the brain, producing lasting functional improvements.
FES, NMES, and TENS on 4 independent channels. Treat pain, strengthen muscle, and retrain gait simultaneously.
Built-in clinical programs for neurology, ACL rehab, pain relief, vascular conditioning, and sports performance.
Patients typically show measurable strength and gait improvements within 2–4 weeks of consistent FES training.
Electrical stimulation is powerful but not suitable for everyone. Our physiotherapists perform comprehensive screening before every FES session.
Cardiac pacemakers, ICDs, or implanted electrical devices
Epilepsy or seizure disorders
Active cancer or malignancy in the treatment area
Pregnancy (especially over abdomen/pelvis)
Acute injury with active bleeding or hemorrhage
Thrombosis or blood clot in the treatment limb
Infection or open wounds at electrode sites
Lower motor neuron lesions with denervated muscle (relative)

How clinical-grade functional electrical stimulation compares to conventional recovery approaches
Rest alone leads to muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and delayed recovery. FES keeps muscles active and circulation flowing even when you cannot move voluntarily — preventing the downward spiral of deconditioning.
Traditional wired units tether patients to a machine, limiting movement to passive contractions. Wireless Pro enables functional training — walking, squatting, reaching — which engages neuroplasticity and produces real-world carryover.
Exercise therapy is essential, but when muscles are inhibited by pain or nerve damage, they cannot generate enough force to adapt. FES provides the missing contraction, making every rep count from day one.
