Description
The DJO Chattanooga VitalStim Plus Electrotherapy Unit is the VitalStim Plus electrotherapy unit, combining VitalStim therapy with sEMG biofeedback for dysphagia treatment. It serves hospital and clinic speech therapy departments treating dysphagia. Speech departments use the Plus unit where swallowing therapy and biofeedback guided exercise run in the same program.
- sEMG Biofeedback Built In – surface EMG biofeedback joins the VitalStim therapy output, so patients see swallow effort during exercise.
- Dysphagia Dedicated System – the unit is built for swallowing rehabilitation rather than general stimulation work.
- VitalStim Plus Electrotherapy Unit Specification – the VitalStim Plus Electrotherapy Unit carries the system specification listed in the product details for this model.
Chattanooga VitalStim Plus Electrotherapy Unit with sEMG Biofeedback Built In
This electrotherapy unit is designed for VitalStim therapy for dysphagia with sEMG biofeedback. The unit delivers the vitalstim therapy protocol for dysphagia under a speech language pathologist. Semg biofeedback shows muscle activity, which helps patients grade swallow exercises. It runs as a electrotherapy unit on the Chattanooga electrodes and accessories the installed base already stocks, so it joins an existing clinic workflow. For hospital and clinic speech therapy departments treating dysphagia, the payoff is a purpose built electrotherapy unit from the manufacturer that defined clinic electrotherapy.

Why Choose the Dysphagia System with Biofeedback
VitalStim Plus pairs the established VitalStim therapy output with sEMG biofeedback in one unit. Speech departments get stimulation and visible effort feedback without running two devices at the chair.
- Two Modalities, One Chair – therapy and biofeedback share one setup, which keeps dysphagia sessions focused on the patient.
- Purpose Built for Swallowing – every part of the system, from electrodes to protocols, targets dysphagia rather than general pain work.
- Program Anchor – the Plus unit anchors a hospital dysphagia program that bills and schedules around it daily.
