Q: What is Kneehab ® XP?
A: Kneehab ® XP is a unique, innovative, conductive garment-based Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) product designed

treatment for quadriceps atrophy, which is a symptom of almost all knee injuries. Kneehab
operatively to accelerate knee rehabilitation. Kneehab
from certain hip or lower limb conditions e.g. hip osteoarthritis or after hip replacement surgery.
