Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for the Lower Extremity and the NESS L300™

For More Information

We provide functional electrical stimulation (FES) for the lower extremity using the NESS L300™ in the Outpatient Neuro Physical Therapy as well as Inpatient CVA Programs. Using breakthrough technology, the L300™ provides a means to treat drop foot weakness from a variety of conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and cerebral palsy. The patient’s physical therapist determines the appropriateness of using the L300™ after completing a thorough patient evaluation and confirming patient goals.

We have easy access to the building, with curbside drop-off, extra wheelchairs and scooters available for use at the front entrance. Please note that we require a physician’s referral and insurance authorization for this program. For further information or to arrange an appointment, please call (410) 448-6421. Visit the Bioness Web site for more details on the device.
