Ness L300 Plus System follows success of the HandTuTor, ArmTutor, LegTutor and 3DTutor


Bioness Inc., today announced the commercial release of its NESS L300® Plus System. Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this year, the L300 Plus combines the award winning NESS L300® Foot Drop System with a thigh cuff to activate even more of the nerves and muscles in the leg for greater control while walking.
The L300 Plus is intended for people living with neurological conditions resulting from stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. The L300 Plus also helps to facilitate muscle re-education, prevent muscle atrophy, increase range of motion and increase local blood flow.
In addition to the L300 the HandTutor system with its sisters (ArmTutor, LegTutor and 3DTutor) has already proven itself in the treatment of joint rehabilitation for patients who have suffered from stroke, head or spinal injuries, Parkinson’s, CP, MS, Radial and Ulnar injuries, development coordination disorders, Brachial Plexus injury, post hand surgery, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and more. The Tutor system improves fine motor , sensory and cognitive impairments through intensive active exercises with augmented feedback. The Tutors also provide a thorough documentation of patient performance and allows the therapist to customize the most suitable rehabilitation program to the patient’s ability. With the HandTutor the patient uses a unique ergonomic glove that can fit even those with neuromuscular hand problems. Powerful evaluation software gives the therapist objective and quantitative information on the impairment.
The Tutor system is currently being used in leading U.S. and foreign hospitals and clinics and can be activated from the adult or child patient’s home via telerehabilitation.
