ViBandz

ViBandz is a device with straps and small vibrating motors that can be worn over muscles for stimulation and targeted vibration therapy. It was created to address the need for a hands-free vibrating device. There are different motor sizes and strap sizes for best fit with the patient. ViBandz also features a base station for powering the device and a key fob used to control the vibration therapy.

Once all appropriate signatures have been obtained and all family/subject questions have been addressed, the subject will undergo their scheduled standard clinical Care (SOC) visit. The time with the ViBandz (10-15 minutes) will be less than full traditional targeted therapy (45 minutes) will help to control for subject fatigue as the vibration feeling stimulates muscles.: Video recordings via an iPad or similar device may be obtained during the subject's visit. These videos will allow for a closer inspection of subject interaction with the ViBandz.
