"It's certainly a bigger problem with advancing age in the geriatric population, and it can be a tremendous source of cost for patients who have these issues," says Gina M. Rooker, MD.

“This technique is feasible, it is very well tolerated, and there’s not much of a complication rate, so it appears to be very safe,” says Amy D. Dobberfuhl, MD, MS.

Vivally System is a neuromodulation system that uses a closed-loop control algorithm and electromyography to personalize treatment for each patient.
