Description
The SarcoStim Muscle Stimulator is a dual channel system built for lower extremity strengthening work. Pain Management Technologies designed it around age-related muscle loss, with programs aimed at the quadriceps and calf muscles. The leg wraps used with it are sold separately, as the manufacturer lists them.
- Purpose built – designed by the maker for lower extremity strengthening programs
- 18 programs – stimulation programs cover quadriceps and calf work
- Dual channel – two channels at up to 130 milliamps peak output
- Wraps separate – the strengthening wraps are a separate purchase, per the manufacturer
About the SarcoStim
The manufacturer’s catalog describes the system as a response to sarcopenia, the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that comes with aging. Strengthening the quadriceps and calf muscles supports the hip, knee and ankle joints they move. That lower extremity focus is the whole design brief of this unit.
Output peaks at 130 milliamps across a 500 ohm load, with pulse width from 50 to 400 microseconds and pulse rate from 1 to 110 hertz. The package holds the device, lead wires, the user’s manual and a carrying case. Wraps are not in the box and are ordered separately.
Features and Benefits
Strengthening Focus
- Quadriceps and calf work – programs target the muscle groups behind leg strength and balance

Why Choose This Product
General stimulators leave the strengthening program design to the user, while this system was specified by its maker for one job, lower extremity strength. Clinics running fall prevention work get a device whose programs and wraps were designed together.
- Single purpose design – programs and wraps are built around quadriceps and calf strengthening
- Full output range – 130 milliamp peak output with fine pulse width steps
- Case kit – device, lead wires and manual arrive in the supplied carrying case
- Maker warranty policy – devices carry a one year warranty under the published PMT policy
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SarcoStim designed for?
Pain Management Technologies designed it for lower extremity strengthening, aimed at the muscle loss that comes with aging. Its programs target the quadriceps and calf muscles. The maker’s catalog frames the goal as supporting strength, stability and balance.
Are the leg wraps included?
No. The wraps are sold separately, exactly as the manufacturer lists this item. The package holds the device, lead wires, the user’s manual and a carrying case.
How many programs does it carry?
Eighteen programs are available on the dual channel unit. Pulse width adjusts from 50 to 400 microseconds and pulse rate from 1 to 110 hertz.
What warranty applies?
A one year device warranty applies under the published manufacturer policy. The wraps and other accessories sit outside the device coverage.
How strong is the output?
Maximum output is rated at 130 milliamps peak across a 500 ohm load. The waveform is a symmetrical biphasic rectangular form across the program list.
