uSiNG The Qb1
aT hoMe
The QB1 system puts access to accelerated
recovery in your hands through just two functions:
the brace to stabilize and restrict your healing
knee and the NMES stimulation system to combat
muscle atrophy.
poST-op braCe
By wearing your brace throughout the day, you
benefit from both the stability and the control of
range of motion it provides, allowing your knee to
safely heal and regain function.
The brace comfortably secures your knee with
simple straps and, if recommended by your doctor,
can restrict your knee's flexion and extension with
the hinge lock.
NMeS SYSTeM
Unlike the brace, you will only use the NMES
stimulation three times a day for 20-minute
sessions. It's recommended that you do this six
days per week, to achieve best results.

Quadriceps muscle loss is a consistent
complication after ACL knee surgery but
it CAN be minimized and reversed with
PROVEN NMES technology and rigid
bracing.
While the electrical stimulation may feel unusual,
it should not be uncomfortable or hurt. Your quad
muscles will tense under stimulation for several
seconds, and then relax before another stimulation
round begins.
Each NMES session will follow a few simple steps:
(1) Remove electrode covers.
(2) Plug the controller into the brace connector.
(3) Select the treatment type on the screen as
directed by your doctor.
(4) Dial in the intensity level of both the knee
and thigh areas for a strong but comfortable
stimulation.
(5) Select "Start" to begin the 20-minute session.
(6) When you've finished your treatment session,
disconnect and power off the controller. Replace
the electrode covers.
During your session, you can enjoy passive, seated
activities while the QB1 system performs your
rehabilitation for you!
