The Exopulse Mollii Suit is a wearable technology that offers potential benefits for individuals living with Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy is a group of motor disorders caused by damage to the developing brain, leading to difficulties in movement, posture and muscle control. While there is no cure for Cerebral Palsy, various therapies and assistive technologies aim to improve functional abilities and quality of life for individuals with this condition.
The Exopulse Mollii Suit utilises electrical stimulation through a specially designed garment to aid relaxation, increase movement and improve blood circulation. This electrical stimulation is known as neuromodulation and can have positive effects on muscle function and mobility.
At Mollii Australia, we support clients living with Cerebral Palsy throughout Australia and New Zealand, including but not limited to Newcastle, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, the Mid North Coast, the Central Coast, the Gold Coast and Tasmania.

For individuals with Cerebral Palsy, the Exopulse Mollii Suit may offer several potential benefits:
Cerebral Palsy often involves increased muscle tone and stiffness. The electrical stimulation provided by the Exopulse Mollii Suit can help relax muscles, reducing Spasticity and promoting more natural movements.
The Exopulse Mollii Suit's electrical stimulation can help activate muscles that may be weak or underused due to Cerebral Palsy. By facilitating muscle activation, the Exopulse Mollii Suit may improve the range of motion and allow for a wider variety of movements.
Many individuals with Cerebral Palsy experience difficulties with balance and coordination. The Exopulse Mollii Suit’s electrical stimulation may help activate muscles involved in maintaining balance, potentially leading to improved stability and postural control.
Chronic pain is not uncommon among individuals with Cerebral Palsy. The Exopulse Mollii Suit’s neuromodulation capabilities may help alleviate pain by reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.
Cerebral Palsy can sometimes lead to poor blood circulation, which can have negative effects on muscle health and overall wellbeing. The Exopulse Mollii Suit’s electrical stimulation may help improve blood flow, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles.
Improved blood circulation can help alleviate symptoms associated with Cerebral Palsy by supplying more oxygen and nutrients to the brain and muscles. This increased oxygenation can potentially enhance brain function, reducing cognitive and motor impairments. Efficient blood flow may also relax muscles, easing stiffness and spasms while promoting flexibility and controlled movements. Enhanced circulation supports healing and tissue repair, minimising the long-term effects of Cerebral Palsy. Additionally, improved blood flow may boost energy levels and endurance, enabling individuals to engage in physical activities and therapy.
Electrical stimulation can increase range of motion by directly activating muscles, promoting muscle contractions and relaxation. This helps to strengthen weak muscles and improve flexibility. Additionally, electrical stimulation can enhance blood flow to the targeted area, increasing oxygen and nutrient supply, which can reduce muscle stiffness and enhance tissue elasticity. Through these mechanisms, electrical stimulation can effectively expand the range of motion, allowing individuals to achieve greater joint mobility and improved functional abilities.
It’s important to note that while the Exopulse Mollii Suit shows promise as an assistive technology, it should be used under the guidance of healthcare professionals familiar with the individual’s condition. Each person with Cerebral Palsy has unique needs and requirements, and a comprehensive treatment plan should be tailored to their specific situation.
It is always advisable to consult with medical professionals or experts in the field to get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the potential benefits and limitations of the Exopulse Mollii Suit or any other assistive technology for Cerebral Palsy.
Mollii Australia proudly extends its innovative services to the entire expanse of Australia and New Zealand. With our cutting-edge solutions, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on lives throughout these vibrant regions.
