Gait Mode
Gait mode is used when walking. In gait mode, the Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor signals the
RF Stim Unit when your heel or forefoot leaves the ground, turning stimulation on. It also
signals when your heel or forefoot contacts the ground, turning stimulation off.
Training Mode
Training mode is used to train muscles when you are not walking (for example, sitting
or lying down). Training mode should not be used when walking. Training mode works
independently of the Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor. Stimulation is delivered in cycles pre-set
by your clinician. Training mode is designed to facilitate muscle re-education, prevent or
retard disuse atrophy of the lower leg muscles, maintain or improve range of motion of the
ankle joint, and improve local blood circulation. Training mode also can be used to check
if the L300 FS Cuff is positioned properly. If your foot does not respond to the stimulation
as it should, reposition the L300 FS Cuff.
Operating Buttons
The Control Unit has six operating buttons. See Figure 5-5, Table 5-2., and Table 5-3.
