DJO Global recently announced its launch of Compex Wireless USA, which the company says is the first FDA-cleared wireless neuromuscular electronic stimulation device designed to enhance the performance and speed recovery of athletes.
“Wireless USA is taking wearable technology to the next level,” DJO Consumer President Toby Bost, stated in a press release. “This product brings 25 years of proven technologies and innovations to new heights to provide athletes with real results from this wearable device. Most importantly, Wireless USA is accessible and beneficial to athletes of all sports and fitness levels to maximize their workouts and achieve peak performance.”
According to the release, the device targets muscle fibers normally unaffected by traditional workouts to stimulate specific motor nerves via electronic pulses. These pulses contract the muscles involuntarily and can reach up to 100% of both type 1 and type 2 muscle fibers. Compex Wireless USA has nine different settings for a variety of workouts and five progression settings to enhance athletic performance gains, according to a company release.
