Introduction
Central nervous system injuries often cause a gait disorder called foot drop. People who
have foot drop are unable to raise their foot while walking. They often drag their foot,
resulting in instability and increased effort during gait.
The NESS L300 Foot Drop System is an advanced neuroprosthesis designed to improve gait
in people suffering from foot drop. The L300 System incorporates cutting-edge technology
and sophisticated design features to improve walking and quality of life.
The L300 System consists of a Functional Stimulation (FS) Cuff (available in regular and
small sizes) with a Radio Frequency (RF) Stim Unit, an Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor, and
a Control Unit. These components communicate wirelessly to send electrical pulses to
the peroneal nerve, which controls the muscles of the lower leg. When stimulated at the
appropriate phase of walking, the muscles raise the foot, thereby preventing foot drop.
