Motive Health (formerly CyMedica Orthopedics) has launched Motive Knee, an FDA-cleared muscle stimulation device for knee pain now available without needing a prescription.
The device was clinically proven to relieve knee pain, according to the company, and enhance mobility via strengthening the quadriceps muscles. It aims to transform non-invasive knee pain management with technology delivered directly to consumers.
Motive Knee uses a precise electrical pulse to stimulate muscle movement, strengthening the quadriceps to alleviate knee joint pressure. The muscle therapy offers long-lasting joint health and better mobility with results that continue over time.
Users can control the therapy in their own home with recommended use of a half hour per day. The device pairs with the MyMotive App so users can personalize therapy levels, monitor progress, and reach mobility goals.
"Anyone who has experienced knee pain knows that it can feel like an endless cycle. Knee pain causes people to limit exercise and reduce movement, which leads to weaker quadriceps muscles and less support around the knee joint. Healthy quadriceps muscles are key in maintaining function and managing knee pain. Now, with Motive Knee, people will be able to take control of their recovery and get back to living full, active lives by breaking this cycle of pain," Dr. Struan Coleman, MD, Ph.D., sports medicine surgeon at Hospital for Special Surgery and Motive Health co-founder, told the press. "After years of clinical research and thousands of success stories from patients who'd previously been prescribed Motive therapy, I'm thrilled that millions of people will now have access to this life-changing knee pain relief technology."
"The direct-to-consumer launch of Motive Health is an exciting time not only for the company but for consumers who can now have access to lasting knee pain relief from home," added Rob Morocco, President and CEO of Motive Health. "Our technology is a game changer for anyone trying to get back to an active lifestyle that is limited by debilitating knee pain. We are delighted to make Motive Knee accessible to those in need through our new e-commerce platform."
Each Motive Knee comes with reusable therapy pads, knee wrap, conductive gel, and charging cable.
