I came across this suit by pure chance while surfing YouTube.

I have had Spasticity in my left arm, wrist, hand and left leg since early 2012.

I had been thinking that Stem Cell therapy was the solution to Spasticity, but it isn't!

The Mollii Suit is an incredible innovation, but raises a series of important questions.

1: WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE TO BUY?

2: WHY ARE THE NHS ONLY JUST ASSESSING IT AS IT HAS BEEN AROUND A FEW YEARS, THE MONEY THE NHS COULD SAVE ON PHYSIOTHERAPY AND DRUG COSTS BY FUNDING THESE SUITS FOR THOSE FOR WHOM WOULD BENEFIT FROM THEM HAS TO RUN INTO MILLIONS, MORE THAN ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY THE COST OF THE SUITS WHICH IF THEY HAD A BULK PURCHASE ARRANGEMENT WITH EXOPULSE COULD REDUCE THE COST OF EACH SUIT TO AS LITTLE AS £1000?

3: WILL THE NHS HELP WITH FUNDING OF AN ASSESSMENT AND PURCHASE OF A SUIT FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT AFFORD IT AS MANY SUFFERS WILL NOT BE WORKING?

4: WHY IS SCOPE NOT LOOKING INTO HELPING TO FUND THE SUITS?

5: WHY IS SCOPE NOT MAKING SUFFERERS AWARE OF THE MOLLII SUIT?

    Hi @Ghostrider117, welcome to the community. I'd not heard about this suit before personally, but it seems like it would be helpful to some people and you've raised some interesting questions.

    I'd imagine that they are still quite expensive to manufacture despite being going for a few years. I can only imagine that the costs might also filter into why the NHS haven't invested in them in any great number yet. Although I'm nowhere near informed enough to answer that question really!

    I'm afraid I can't comment on why Scope aren't helping fund or making people aware of these suits today, but I will pass your discussion onto my colleagues so they can take a look.

    It's a really interesting product though, thank you for bringing it to my (and other members') attention!
