Additional information:


Walk faster, farther, with more freedom.

 

Take the stairs. Walk on the beach. Stroll through the park. Dance. It’s now possible with the NESS L300 Foot Drop System.

 

The NESS L300 is an advanced functional electrical stimulation (FES) system that sends low-level electrical impulses to the common peroneal nerve in your leg, stimulating muscles to lift your foot. The NESS L300 automatically senses, while you are walking, your foot position, terrain asit changes, and your walking speed. Therefore, the NESS L300 may assist your gait (a manner of walking) following an upper motor neuron injury or disease.

 

 

Three wireless components

 

The NESS L300 is unlike a rigid, uncomfortable ankle-foot orthosis (AFO). Once fitted, you can wear the NESS L300 under most clothing, and with most shoes.

 

The system consists of three small components that communicate with each other wirelessly. When you lift your heel, the Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor™ sends wireless signals to the leg cuff which stimulates the nerves to contract the muscles that lift your foot while walking.

Bioness - NESS L300 Foot Drop System
Great results with Bioness L300
by lida on 4/26/2010 9:11:09 AM
I am a physical therapist working with neurological patients in a hospital-based outpatient rehab. I have been using the Bioness L300 for a couple of years with excellent results. The improvement in the quality of gait and safety have made great and positive changes in patients' lifestyles, allowing them to return to activities that they enjoyed before. I highly recommend for patients with foot drop to be evaluated by a therapist to determine if they will benefit from this device. Lida Rivera, Physical Therapist

Foot drop assistance in Williamsburg, Va
by lgpenn on 4/14/2010 7:04:31 PM
My name is Liz Penn and I’m a physical therapist at Sentara Outpatient Rehab in Williamsburg, Va. Since our clinic began using the L300 last year, it has been my privilege, to see patients’ quality of life change in just a few steps. Seeing patients who struggle to walk just a few feet to be able to become community ambulators touches my heart beyond the description of words. If you struggle with foot drop, please inquire with your physician to see if the L300 is right for you. Go to www.Bioness.com to find a screening near you.

High recommendation for the Bioness L300
by dfowler on 4/7/2010 8:32:59 AM
As a physical therapist, I am a big advocate of this device and have had numerous success stories with my patients. One patient was able to return to playing golf, including management of the golf course through walking. Another patient was able to travel with his son to visit colleges without fatigue limiting his participation. I find it to be an excellent adjunct to neuro-reeducation treatments, very easy to use, extremely effective, and would highly recommend this device.

Thumbs up for the Bioness
by Greg Bauer on 2/17/2010 10:55:52 PM
I have had a lot of success with this device. I find it to be extremely effective with patients that have suffered drop foot from a stroke, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. I like that with this device that as soon as the foot comes off the ground the sensor in the shoe activates which sends the stimulation causing the foot to dorsiflex. Therefore, no matter how the patient takes their step, the Bioness will always properly send a signal.
