Now, help your patientswalk faster, farther,

with more freedom*

The NESS L300 is an advanced unctional electrical stimulation

(FES) system that sends low-level electrical impulses to the

common peroneal nerve in the leg, stimulating the muscles to

li the oot at the appropriate time during gait. The NESS L300

senses in real time walking position, varying gait speed, and

changing terrain.

Previous FES systems posed problems: inconsistent electrode

placement, bulky leads and wires, complicated control units.

That was then. This is now.

The NESS L300 is the rst FES system or oot drop that is

adaptive, low prole, wireless, and easy to use, with results

backed by research.

NESS L300Foot Drop System

Its easy for the physician to use.Its easy for the physical therapist to program.

And its really easy for the patient to use.Sheri Friedman, M.D.

The right solution for a range of people

The NESS L300may be the solution or patients who have oot drop

associated with any o the ollowing upper motor neuron pathologies:

Stroke

Multiple sclerosis

Traumatic brain injury

Incomplete spinal cord injury

Cerebral palsy

I think its great. I think it really allows fora whole new option that people didnt have before.TheL300... offers more freedom.

Beth Fondy, PT

Benefits beyond a more natural gait

In addition to helping patients regain a more natural gait and, as a result, a

more active liestyle, the NESS L300 may help:

Reeducate muscles to function without the system (motor recovery)1

Prevent or retard muscle atrophy

Maintain or increase joint range of motion

Increase local blood ow

Programmed to succeed

Setting up the NESS L300is easy, due in part to the wireless, handheld

Clinicians Programmer. The intuitive soware allows multiple clinicians to

access and manage a patients database and t o congure stimulation and gait

settings even make real-time adjustments to ne-tune gait patterns.

The database stores each patients gait and usage history, so you can review

unctional progress. It allows the clinician to di splay the patients results

graphically, lter data, and organize the data into tables by days, weeks,

months, or years.

Your patients see their progress. You see their compliance.

1. Comortable, lightweight Functional Stimulation (FS) Cuf

The FS Cu holds the stimulation unit, which activates the muscles othe oot. The electrodes are housed on the interior o the FS Cu and arecustom positioned precisely or each patient.

Easy or your patients to put on and take o with one hand, the FS Cuis compact enough to t under most clothing and eatures a specialpatella locator that assures precise, reproducible electrode placement. Itsbreathable, so fabric is extremely comfortable. Its expandable, adjustablestraps ensure a snug, comortable t.

Additionally, a removable hygienic barrier called the personal panel

allows clinicians to use the NESS L300 on multiple patients throughoutthe day while maintaining each patients respective electrode placement.

2. Innovative, Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor

As patients walk, the Gait Sensor automatically detects heel o andheel on positions, as well as dierent suraces and speeds. The Sensorthen immediately sends radio signals to the FS Cu to adjust thestimulation to help your patients walk more naturally. Forwards,backwards. Upstairs, downstairs. On grass, on sand.

3. Wireless, portable Control Unit

The Control Unit is used to turn the NESS L300 on and o, and to makene stimulation adjustments. It interfaces with the Clinicians Programmer,enabling you to set stimulation parameters, make adjustments that are

automatically stored in the patients records, track gait history, and monitorpatient compliance. Additional clinical eatures include a b ioeedback audiotone that noties you and the patient when stimulation is administered.A unique clinicians mode allows you to speciy requency and durationo stimulation.

NESS L300Foot Drop System

Three small, wireless components

A leading medical technology magazine, Medical Device &

Diagnostic Industry, has recognized the NESS L300 with its highest

award.2 Its sophisticated design encourages patient acceptance and

reduces the stigma associated with an ankle-oot orthosis (AFO).

Once tted, patients can wear the NESS L300 under most clothing

and with most shoes.

The system consists o three small components that communicate

with each other wirelessly.

Supported by clinical research

A recent clinical study showed the NESS L300 may increase walking speed,

improve stability, lower the risk o alling, and provide a greater degree o

condence.3

Another study showed that the NESS L300 oers signicant improvements

when compared to walking without it:4

17% immediate mean increase in average walking speed withthe NESS L300

34% mean increase in average walking speed aer 8 weeks withthe NESS L300

45% improvement in gait asymmetry index aer 8 weeks withthe NESS L300

33% improvement in stride time variability aer 8 weeks withthe NESS L300 (a marker o gait stability and all risk)

Fall requency decreased by 92% with the NESS L300

An additional study examined patients who used an AFO. 100% o the patients

in this study preerred the NESS L300 to their AFO.5

With the L300, patients now have a sense offreedom and the opportunity to develop strength

and motor control they werent previously able towith just a standard orthotic.
