KIRAX’ TECHNOLOGY DETAILS

1. How does the KIRAX neuro-facilitator work? The light skin pressure (less than 200ml/hg) exerted by the KIRAX neuro-facilitator is perceived by the receptors located in the skin and joints. These mechanoreceptors decode the mechanical stimulus and transmit the information to the central nervous system in the (brain)

2. Where does the information transmitted by the receptors go? The information coming from the receptors goes to many levels of the brain. It goes to the spinal cord where it can influence the neuro-motor reflexes. It also reaches the central nervous system, where it can influence the central control of movement.

3. What is the role of the information transmitted to the spinal cord? The light touch or skin pressure applied by the KIRAX neuro-facilitator increases the contribution, the readiness of the spinal cord which can then increase the muscular capacity without a need for increasing the voluntary command from the brain.

4. Does KIRAX induce a modification of the muscle activity, which represents the voluntary command from the central nervous system? This facilitation produced by the KIRAX technology not only increases the reflex command, it also produces a reduction of the activity associated with maximum voluntary contractions. This activity can be related to the voluntary command or central drive.

5. Does KIRAX modify strength levels? The increase in reflexes (161%, according to (ACSM Boucher, Brossard, Lefebvre and Al. 1995) occurring due to the reduction in the voluntary command translates into an increase in maximum force input strength output?

6. What is happening? In summary, the specific mechanical stimulation produced by the KIRAX neuro-facilitator (according to research and clinical experience) generates an increase in motor reflexes, a decrease in the central neural drive (voluntary command), and an increased strength force (Boucher, Brossard and Al. 1994). The results strongly suggest that the increase in muscular capacity expressed through the force output, is directly related to the increased reflexes, thus producing energy. The increased capacity would then be linked to an increased spinal readiness while the central demands would be reduced.

7. Why is this important? The KIRAX neuro-facilitator increases the muscular capacity, (Portmann and coll.,1999,2000) through a natural reflex mechanism associated with the role of specific receptors. Thus, for a given work, the relative demand on the system will seem lower since the muscular capacity has been increased. This decrease of demand related to the activity (work, sport, etc.) Help to prevent functional problems such as: carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, bursitis, tendonitis, etc…

8. What is the KIRAX neuro-facilitator made of? Made of soft polyurethane with titanium flakes (for allergy prevention), the KIRAX neuro-facilitator is designed in a special shape, to be comfortably inserted in our business partners products. These products are designed to enhance ordinary people and athletes life.

9. How long can I wear products with the KIRAX neuro-facilitator? Since the KIRAX neuro-facilitator exerts only a very light pressure on skin reflex, there is no need for adaptation to wearing products featuring the KIRAX neuro-facilitator. Anybody can then wear them all day, every day.

10. When can I feel the benefits of the KIRAX neuro-facilitator? Although KIRAX neuro-facilitator is scientifically proven and tested to instantly give increased performance, energy and well-being; a person may feel these benefits only after wearing the products with KIRAX for a period of time. Individual results may vary from person to person.
