Taking spasticity management and motor
control into the future
Inerventions hjälper människor med funktionsvariation till ett bättre liv genom unika
lösningar och hjälpmedel. Vi har idag produkten Mollii, som med elektroterapi
dämpar rörelsehinder och smärta för personer med hjärn- och ryggmärgsskada, t
ex stroke och CP.
Vi vill bidra till ett samhälle där alla människor kan nå sin fulla potential. Ju fler som
deltar fullt ut i samhället, desto bättre för demokrati, jämställdhet och mänskliga
rättigheter.
Vår vision är ett samhälle där alla har samma fysiska förutsättningar att leva fritt
och självständigt.

Clinical study in Hvidovre (Christian Wong)
Christian Wong
Consultant in Ped. Orthopedics, PhD
Hvidovre university hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark
Mollii treatment in Cerebral Palsy.
Ongoing study with the Mollii suit in 30 CP children, GFMCS 3-5.
A clinical study
The outcome measures are spasticity, stability, sleep, pain, bowel function and quality of life.
30 included, 1 finished, 2 paused due to epilepsy, 5 drop outs due to lack of effect and epilepsy,
estimated study end spring (may) 2018.
Ongoing study with the Mollii suit in 30 CP children, GFMCS 1-2.
A clinical study
The outcome measures are spasticity measured by the neuroflexor and gait analysis before and
after.
30 included, estimated study end fall 2018.
Ongoing study with the Mollii suit in 30 CP children, GFMCS 1-2.
A mechanism study
The outcome measure is the neural component of spasticity, measured by the instrument
Neuroflexor®.
30 included, 15 tested with baseline, 20 Hz, 30 Hz and ‘suit only’, estimated study end spring
2018.
