NESS L300 Foot Drop System
Is there new help for foot drop?
The NESS L300 is an advanced foot drop system designed to use mild stimulation to lift your foot to help you walk more safely and easily. If the NESS L300 is right for you, it may be easier to walk on flat ground, up and down stairs, as well as on uneven surfaces. This light-weight device is designed to fit just below your knee and to be put on and taken off with one hand. Use of the NESS L300 may eliminate the need to wear a rigid, heavy orthosis.
Is the NESS L300 right for me?
The NESS L300 is for people who have foot drop because of these medical conditions:
- Stroke
- Traumatic brain injury
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Incomplete spinal cord injury
- Other neurological disorders of the central nervous system (e.g., Parkinson’s Disease)
How NESS L300 Works
The NESS L300 has three main parts that use wireless communication to "talk" to each other. The leg cuff (1) is a small, light-weight device that fits just below the knee and contains electrodes designed to place stimulation where it helps you most. The gait sensor (2) attaches to your shoe and lets the leg cuff know if your heel is on the ground or in the air. The hand-held remote control (3) lets you adjust the level of stimulation and turn the unit on and off. After the initial fitting by your clinician, you just put the cuff on and you are set to go.
