For Veterans living with neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or stroke, advanced rehabilitation technology isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential. Restorative Therapies is committed to ensuring every Veteran has access to integrated Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) therapies, empowering them to achieve optimal health and independence in their recovery journey.
What is Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)?
Our RT300 and Xcite2 therapy systems provide evidence-based, FDA-cleared solutions specifically designed to address the unique rehabilitation needs of Veterans, both within Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) and in the comfort of their homes.

Why Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Matters for Veterans
Veterans can experience high rates of neurological injuries and chronic conditions, leading to complications such as:
- Muscle atrophy and weakness
- Spasticity
- Pressure injuries and poor circulation
- Secondary complications including diabetes, UTIs, and osteoporosis, etc.
FES therapy delivered through RT300 and Xcite2 helps mitigate these risks by:
- Re-educating muscles
- Relaxing muscle spasms
- Increasing/maintaining local blood circulation
- Increasing/maintaining range of motion
- Preventing muscle atrophy
Benefits of RT300 and Xcite2 for Neurological Rehabilitation
Providing consistent access to this advanced technology significantly helps clinicians in the VAMC maximize patient outcomes for greater independence and quality of life.
Supporting VA Clinicians with RT300 and Xcite2 Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Therapies
To maximize recovery outcomes for Veterans, VA clinicians require technology that effectively supports rehabilitation goals. Integrating the RT300 and Xcite2 into the VAMCs delivers:
- Proven effectiveness supported by over 20 years of experience
- Up to 12 channels of stimulation
- Real-time biofeedback and data tracking via RTILink™
- Patented Active Spasm Management for efficient and comfortable sessions (RT300)
- Versatile therapy addressing upper, and/or lower extremities, and core muscle groups
- Consistent therapy protocols, easily transitioned from clinic to home
- Massed practice progressive resistance (RT300) and over 40+ task-specific functional activities (Xcite2)
FES Therapy for Veterans with Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, or MS
Restorative Therapies helps clinicians to deliver superior care and achieve optimal outcomes for Veterans.
- Active spams management (patented)
- Targets upper, lower, and core muscle groups
- Adjustable speed, resistance, and real-time monitoring
