# Wearable Muscle Stimulators The Elektrodress Helps Individuals Suffering From Nerve Disorders By Katherinev123 | Published 2012-02-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elektrodress References: [fashioningtech](http://www.fashioningtech.com/profiles/blogs/elektrodress-an-electrode-suit-for-treatment-of-nerve-disorders) & [inerventions.se](http://www.inerventions.se) With his 'Elektrodress' creation, inventor and doctor Fredrik Lundqvist is changing the way scientists and doctors look at neurology and rehabilitation when it comes to nerve disorders. The Elektrodress is a [wearable garment designed with electrodes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurostimulation-device) that can increase a body's movement and function through vibration therapy and [electronic muscle stimulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscle-activations) (EMS). The Elektrodress was created to help a person's body relax and to improve his or her sensory and motor function by triggering the person's reflex system and stimulating the muscles. As such, the tool is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from nerve disorders such as Multiple Scelerosis, Cerebral Palsy and Parkinson's. After appearing on the Swedish reality show Dragon's Den, Lundqvist has so far gained 2 million SEK in funding to continue research and development of his Elektrodress. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wearable Muscle Stimulators:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced wearable muscle stimulators for improved rehabilitation and sensory-motor function. ### Who This Affects Most - **Medical Devices:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate wearable muscle stimulators into medical devices for more effective treatment of nerve disorders. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Electrotherapy Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrogear.md) - [Advanced Muscle-Toning Suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetmyo.md) - [Stroke Recovery Wearable Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-earpiece.md) - [Wearable Gait Rehabilitation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gait-rehabilitation-system.md) - [Wearable Robotic Medical Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/als-medical-technology.md) - [Nerve-Stimulating Diabetic Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynerva-leia-sock.md) - [Wearable Neurostimulation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurostimulation-device.md) - [Massaging Hand Healthcare Gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knitdema-glove.md) - [Insomnia-Specific Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amofit-s.md)
