I am currently looking to buy a EMS unit. I have looked at several on the web, tried 2 in rehab and even flew to Dayton Ohio and spent an afternoon with Steve and Heather from electrlogic.

To keep this thread simple could users post the brand of stim unit they have and then rate it from 0-10 ( 10 is the best). Maybe with a few pros and cons of each.

Currently I am leaning towards the Neuropulse, Cefar pro or the 4000R "Russian" unit.

Thanks in advance

SCI pilot - is there anything excluding you from doing FES bike riding? It builds your legs, adds precious muscle tissue to your butt, and most importantly gives you true cardiovascular exercise.

A neuropulse or similar unit just can't match that.

I ride a recumbant Diamond Back HRT cycle mon,wed,fri. I do 10 miles in 40-45 minutes and burn 420-480 calories. I want the EMS to work on my calves. I am incomplete as I walk with AFO's.

I saw the bike last Friday at electrologic it looks like a wicked machine.

Do you have an EMS that you use?
