Electrical Stimulation (NMES/FES/TASES/ NISE-STIM)
What is TASES?
Task-Specific Electrical Stimulation (TASES) is a cutting-edge therapeutic approach that uses electrical impulses to activate muscles at the precise moment they're needed during tasks like walking or grasping. This method supports muscle strengthening and enhances sensory input, promoting improved movement patterns and functional independence.
How TASES Works
- Precision Muscle Activation: Stimulate muscles exactly when needed during tasks via switch.
- Enhanced Motor Learning: Repeated movement in proper alignment fosters better motor skills.
- Reduced Spasticity: Experience increased joint range and decreased muscle stiffness.
- Age-Appropriate Tasks: Engage in functional activities tailored to individual needs.
What Makes TASES Different?
Unlike traditional electrical stimulation methods, TASES focuses on task-specific engagement of muscles during functional activities. This ensures muscles are strengthened optimally, enhancing both movement and sensory experiences for children, promoting active and independent motor function.
- Timing is Key: Muscles are activated exactly when they should be, such as during the gait cycle.
- Customizable for Upper and Lower Limbs: TASES can target arms, hands, legs, and more based on individual needs.
- Expert Certified Practitioners: Our practitioners hold certifications from TASES founder Judy Carmick and Dr. Mirav Newman.

What is NISE-Stim?
Spinal Electrical Stimulation (NISE-Stim) focuses on spinal cord stimulation for improved muscle movement. Perfect for children with conditions like spina bifida, NISE-Stim offers:
- Non-Invasive Spinal Therapy: Uses NMES stimulators for gentle, effective muscle activation.
- Family-Friendly Sessions: Easy home-based application with minimal parental involvement.
- Proven Results: Documented progress in children, ages 3 months and up, supported by research..
