I have a device called a Zynex brand device. This was recommended to me by the hospital where I was patient, it was not cheap at $250 each, and I have two. it was supposed to be prescription grade so to speak, because it required a doctor's prescription.
I do not know whether this is actually any better than any other device, I would love to hear anyone's opinion On this or any other suggestions?
I am never satisfied with what I have, please offer any suggestions.

I've been using it regularly for a few months. Definitely more powerful and more advanced than your typical TENS unit. It has a variety of pre-set programs with range adjustable capabilities. Good quality. Easy to use. It's a good tool.Know Thyself

Volitional muscle control, it is hard to say on results, definitely helpful, but results are hard to quantify. Just got one of those power dots not that long ago, very helpful. They are now available as a medical device and perhaps might be covered by insurance now? Not sure, worth checking

Surface level stimulation, properly applied, can increase circulation, provide pain relief, help to keep local musculature and connective tissue healthy, etc.
Any meaningful recovery of volitional movement will require a much deeper, more targeted, more sustainable reactivation of the entire motor system.
