Bioness L300 functions and benefits for MS (Multiple Sclerosis)

The NESS L300 system works by delivering electrical impulses to the Common Peroneal Nerve which controls the movement of the muscles that cause the foot to dorsiflex in the swing phase of gait and thereby prevent foot drop.

The NESS L300 utilizes state of the art wireless communication to seamlessly integrate its components. Patients wear a lower leg electronic orthosis housing an integrated stimulation unit and electrodes. Then Miniatrue Control Unit allows simple operation, displaying real time system status information. The Intelli-Sense Gait sensor, with wireless communication, detects "heel off" and "heel on" positions, and signals the stimualator to initiate or pause accordingly. Initial Setup is performed using the wireless, hand-held programmer. Its itnuitive interface enables simple configuration and online optimization of gait parameters.

Wireless technology makes the unit more acceptable for patients by eliminating cumbersome wires. The electronic orthosis has also been designed for repeatable electrode placement and a snug fit between the affected limb and the integrated electrodes.And, unlike traditional systems, the NESS L300 may eliminate rigid splints that previously resulted in awkward movements that may damage hip, back and knee joints.

A truly unique feature that makes the wireless NESS L300 preferable to other foot drop devices is the Intelli-Sense gait sensor featuring real-time adaptive gait recognition. Sophisticated software algorithms are utilized to automatically adjust to different surfaces, uneven ground and walking speeds. Patients seamlessly transition between terrains, thaks to real-time adaptation to variations in walking speed, rhythm and style. This feature enables the user to walk with greater confidence and ease, leading to increased mobility and independence.
