The NEUBIE® (“Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator”) device uses a novel type of electrical stimulation to optimize neurological function for faster healing, improved mobility, recovery from chronic pain, and enhanced performance. The device is unique among electrical stimulation devices for several reasons, the most important of which is the neurophysiological effect of the waveform. Because of the unique effects of the waveform, the device can be used to create outcomes that are far more effective than what can be accomplished with traditional devices.

These unique effects allow us to use NEUBIE® in unique ways. As part of the NeuFit protocols, the device is used diagnostically to identify areas where the body is governing or limiting range of where the body is governing or limiting range of where the body is governing or limiting range of motion, speed of movement, and muscle output. Here’s how it works: In the diagnostic scan, one electrode is stationary,while the other is scanned around on the body. Wherever this scanning electrode is on the body, it will stimulate all of the electrically-sensitive tissue in its vicinity. It could stimulate the sensory receptors that report information on movement, position, temperature, chemical state, vibration, etc. The fastest aferent pathways are the (i) muscle spindle (MS) pathway, which reports muscle length and velocity of lengthening, and the (ii) golgi tendon organ (GTO), which reports the amount of force, or load. Because these are the fastest pathways, their signal will reach the CNS first and be the first to be acted upon. These pathways lead to two dfferent types of governors on movement, excessive tension and deficient activation. So by stimulating these pathways, we can identify where the body is governing and limiting its movement.
