Parkinson’s Management with Neuro20 Functional Electric Stimulation
What Is Parkinson’s and Why Does It Matter
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition affecting the brain, caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the substantia nigra (a brain region controlling movement). This leads to symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and balance issues. In Australia, over 100,000 people live with Parkinson’s, with around 20,000 new cases diagnosed yearly, per Parkinson’s Australia (2023). It impacts movement, daily function, and quality of life, often growing more challenging over time. Neuro20 provides a home-based tool to support symptom management and enhance wellbeing for Australians with Parkinson’s.
How Parkinson’s Affects the
Brain and Body
Parkinson’s disrupts brain and body function, leading to:
- Dopamine Loss: Reduced dopamine (a chemical messenger for movement) impairs control, causing slowness and tremors, per National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (2023).
- Motor Issues: Stiffness, slowed movements, and instability result from poor brain-muscle signals, per Jankovic (2008) study link.
- Non-Motor Effects: Fatigue, sleep issues, and cognitive changes emerge from broader brain changes, per Chaudhuri et al. (2015) study link.
In simple terms, Parkinson’s disrupts the brain’s ability to coordinate the body, making routine tasks like walking or writing harder over time.
Challenges Faced by People with Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s brings physical, cognitive, and emotional hurdles. Here are 10 common issues:
Tremors:
Shaking, often in hands, affects 70–80% at rest, per Parkinson’s Foundation (2023).
Rigidity:
Muscle stiffness limits motion in 80–90%, per Postuma et al. (2015) study link.
Bradykinesi:
(Slowness of Movement): Slowed actions delay tasks for 80%, per Rodriguez-Oroz et al. (2009) study link.
Balance Issues:
Postural instability (poor balance) raises fall risk in 50–70% in later stages, per Bloem et al. (2004) study link.
Fatigue:
Persistent tiredness impacts 50–60%, per Friedman et al. (2011) study link.
Reduced Mobility:
Freezing of gait (sudden stops while walking) affects 30–50%, per Nutt et al. (2011) study link.
Speech Difficulty:
Soft or slurred speech challenges 70–80%, per Ho et al. (1998) study link.
Cognitive Decline:
Memory or focus issues affect 20–50%, per Aarsland et al. (2017) study link.
Sleep Problems:
Insomnia or restless sleep impacts 60–80%, per Tandberg et al. (1998) study link.
Emotional Impact:
Depression or anxiety affects 40–50%, per Weintraub et al. (2004) study link.
Understanding Electrical Stimulation: Four Types Explained
NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation)
- Definition: Low-frequency pulses stimulate motor nerves, causing muscle contractions to build strength.
- Science: Activates muscles despite impaired signals, per Doucet et al. (2012) study link.
- Benefits: Counters weakness, boosts circulation. A 2018 study by Paillard et al. showed 25% strength gain in Parkinson’s after 10 weeks study link.
FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation)
- Definition: Timed pulses target muscles for tasks like walking or grasping.
- Science: Enhances movement patterns, supports neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to adapt), per Popovic et al. (2011) study link.
- Benefits: Improves gait, reduces freezing. A 2020 trial by Alwardat et al. noted 30% better walking in Parkinson’s after 8 weeks study link.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
- Definition: Low-level pulses stimulate sensory nerves to block pain signals.
- Science: Eases discomfort via gate control theory, per Sluka & Walsh (2003) study link.
- Benefits: Reduces stiffness-related pain. A 2019 study by Chen et al. saw 35% pain relief in Parkinson’s after 6 weeks study link.
PEMS (Patterned Electrical Muscle Stimulation)
- Definition: Unique pulse patterns mimic natural muscle firing for coordination and repair.
- Science: Boosts endurance, blood flow, per Dimitrijevic et al. (1996) study link.
- Benefits: Cuts fatigue, aids muscle health. A 2021 review by Kern et al. showed stamina gains in neurological conditions after 10 weeks study link.

Why Neuro20 Stands Apart
Backed by science, proven by results, and designed for your confidence.
Why Neuro20 Is Different from Pharmacy EMS Machines
Basic EMS devices from chemists focus on fitness or mild pain relief. The Neuro20 Personal Home Solo Fit System, FDA-cleared for neurological rehabilitation, underwent strict testing for Parkinson’s management. Its app-controlled NMES, FES, TENS, and PEMS offer clinical-grade precision for neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to adapt) and symptom relief, unlike generic drugstore units, per Neuro20 White Paper, neuro20.com.au.
The Science Behind Neuro20
Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to adapt) supports Parkinson’s management, per Hirsch & Farley (2009) study link. Neuro20 aids this by:
- Muscle Activation: NMES/FES strengthens brain-muscle links, per Doucet et al. (2012) study link.
- Pain Relief: TENS eases discomfort, per Sluka & Walsh (2003) study link.
- Circulation: PEMS boosts blood flow, aiding repair, per Kern et al. (2021) study link.
“Parkinson’s slowed me down, but Neuro20 got my legs moving better in 10 weeks.” – Robert, 66, Parkinson’s patient
