Operating Modes
The L300 Plus System has three operating modes: standby, gait, and training.
Standby Mode
In standby mode, the NESS L300 Plus System is on and waiting for commands.
Stimulation is off.
Gait Mode
Gait mode is used when walking. In gait mode, the Intelli-Sense Gait Sensor
signals the L300 and Thigh RF Stim Units when the heel leaves the ground
and when the heel contacts the ground. Stimulation in the L300 and Thigh
RF Stim Units respond as programmed by the clinician.
Training Mode
Training mode is used to train the muscles when not walking (for example,
sitting or lying down). Training mode works independently of the Intelli-Sense
Gait Sensor. Stimulation is delivered in cycles pre-set by the clinician.
Training mode is designed to:
• Facilitate muscle re-education.
• Prevent or retard disuse atrophy of the lower leg and thigh muscles.
• Maintain or improve range of motion of the ankle and knee joints.
• Improve local blood circulation.
