When walking is challenging, Sentara specialists use sophisticated tools to help you build strength and move more naturally.
L300 Foot Drop System: Why Choose Sentara?
Our neurological rehabilitation experts use leading-edge medical technologies like the Bioness® L300 Foot Drop System to improve your gait (how you walk). Our specialists work together to incorporate these specialized tools into your personalized care plan to support your healing and recovery.
L300 Bioness Treatment
When brain, nervous system or spinal cord injury or illness changes your ability to walk, the L300 Foot Drop System can help. This technology uses functional electrical stimulation to send movement signals that the brain would typically send.
The wireless system senses when your foot is on or off the ground. The unit sends electronic signals to tell your muscles and nerves to lift your foot, helping you walk more naturally.
Our specialists adjust the sequencing of the electrical impulses based on your individual needs.
