Imagine your life with more strength.
Find Your Strength Again
with e-vive™
- e-vive™ is an app-based muscle strengthening solution designed to help you be proactive with your OA conveniently at home.
- The device uses advanced Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) therapy to activate and strengthen your thigh muscles.
- Research has shown that muscle strengthening with NMES can significantly reduce joint stiffness and improve function in patients with knee osteoarthritis1
The e-vive™ App
The e-vive™ App can be downloaded onto virtually any smart device. The intuitive app gives you complete control of your stimulation therapy and allows your healthcare provider to easily monitor your progress remotely.

Patients believe e-vive™ helps increase physical activity*
- NMES is a proven modality to treat muscle weakness, re-educate nerve-to-muscle communication, and increase range of motion and muscle function.
- e-vive™ is FDA 510(k) cleared for treatment of muscle weakness.
How is NMES different from a TENS device?
NMES and TENS therapies target different nerve groups of the body. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) targets the sensory nerves, which are responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) targets the muscle itself, specifically through the motor nerves. The stimulation of motor nerves causes the thigh muscle to contract, similar to what you would experience by doing squats at the gym. Daily muscle contractions can increase the strength of your thigh, and overall stability of the joint.
