• Denervated Muscles

• Severe Spasticity (Moderate spasticity is often helped by this exercise although it make take up to 3 months for the benefits to be apparent.)

• Limited range of motion at knee / hip

• Severe osteoporosis

• Damaged skin or open wounds near stimulation

• Some metal implants and cardiac pacemakers

• Weight over 135kg

• Pregnancy: We don’t currently have enough research on the safety of using electrical stimulation during pregnancy, so it’s best to avoid using the system while pregnant.

• Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD):
  If you’ve experienced autonomic dysreflexia before, you should speak with your spinal injuries consultant or regular doctor before starting.
  If you’re able to recognise the signs of AD and know how to manage it, using the system is still possible. To reduce the risk, avoid exercising with a full bladder or bowel, and stay hydrated by sipping water throughout your session.

• Long-term Injuries:
  If your injury happened more than five years ago, you may benefit from a specialist assessment before beginning a new exercise programme.

KT Motion has two EMG channels, which means it can detect small muscle signals like effort, movement attempt, or intention, and use them to trigger stimulation.

This helps clients take an active role in their rehab. For example, trying to lift a hand or flex a muscle can activate a pre-set stimulation pattern, such as grasping, reaching, or lifting.

Therapists can adjust the sensitivity of the system to suit each client, so they can gradually improve control and relearn movement over time.

KT Motion can connect to an external motion sensor - like a bending sensor worn in a glove - which allows users to trigger stimulation based on their own movement, or input.

For example, opening the hand wearing the bending sensor can stimulate anywhere electrodes are placed - most commonly on the opposite, affected limb.

It’s not just for mirror-type work; the sensor gives users more autonomy and can be used to adjust intensity or timing during functional tasks like reaching, grasping and extenson. Therapists can fine-tune the sensitivity and thresholds to suit each user’s ability and rehab goals.

Absolutely. It's really important to us that you feel confident using your system and making adjustments over time. FES is often used for short term rehab goals, but should be used as a long-term tool for staying healthy, so we make sure you're properly supported from day one.

Here’s what’s included:

🛠️ Setup Visit
We’ll deliver the system, assemble everything, and remove any packaging.
Then we’ll spend around 90 minutes showing you how it all works, setting up your first templates, and answering any questions.
We document the session so you can refer back to it later, and we’re happy to train family members or carers too.
If needed, we can also provide a competency sign-off for clinical or care staff.

⏱ 6-Week Follow-Up
Once you’ve had some time to get started, we’ll return for a follow-up visit.
This is your chance to ask questions, get help with any tweaks, and explore new template options based on your progress and goals.

🌍 Local Therapist Support
Where possible, we can connect you with a local therapist who understands FES and can help integrate it into your wider rehab programme. They can also assist with ongoing training reviews and progression—often at a lower cost and with greater flexibility.

📞 Ongoing Support
We’re always here if you need us. Whether it’s troubleshooting, questions, or adjustments, you can reach us by email, phone, or video call—whichever works best for you.

📚 Self-Help Resources
We also offer a range of tools to help you build your knowledge and confidence:

• A free online course available to all customers

• Access to video resources for setup, technique, and troubleshooting

• Live and pre-recorded webinars and group sessions covering common topics and user experiences

We’re committed to making sure you feel supported and confident—every step of the way.

It is not currently possible to rent a KT Device, but this is something we hope to introduce in the near future for both clinics and individuals.

We don’t currently offer in-house finance or payment plans.

The KT Stimulator carries a 2 year warranty.

Manufacturer warranty covers faults in materials or workmanship under normal use, but do not extend to damage caused by misuse, impact, unauthorised repairs, or connection to non-approved devices.

Routine wear-and-tear items (like cables, gloves, sensors and electrodes) —are not covered and may need replacement over time.

The operational life of the device is 10 years. During this time, the battery may require replacement. (The maximum operating life of the battery depends on the storage and application environment. A typical service life is about 5 years.)

Yes, the KT Motion is very portable. The device itself is handheld and weighs under 500g.

The full set is presented in a solid, handled, carry case (42cm × 35cm × 12cm) for safe transportation. In total weighing 2.4kg.

Over time, electrode pads, cables and accessories will naturally wear out and need replacing - and we know that the occasional accident can happen too.

You can find the most commonly used consumables, accessories, and spare parts available to purchase directly through our webstore.
