I started a new routine today. I saw my occupational therapist this week and she suggested that I start stimming my forearms to help strengthen and stretch out my fingers. For the past year, I have been using stim exclusively on my quad muscles and have seen some great results. My leg muscles are not only stronger but I have less tone and can now exercise considerably longer than when I originally began. My stim unit looks like an iPhone and has become my new best friend. I am using the dual channel unit called Choice Stim made by Progenix. The unit was covered by my insurance and the company sends me supplies every month at no cost. http://www.statscrop.com/www/progenix.com My plan is to use this every day for 30 minutes on each arm to see if I can strengthen my hand grip.
I will post my progress in future blogs. Here's to fighting back! Limitless Lizzie

I am also going to buy an NMES unit---Empi. I have had decent results using it on my left calf but now I want to start using it on my left hip and quad. I would love to learn how you are using it. Please email me. Comments are closed.
