Improved Mobility. Made Easier.TM
The L300 Go system uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help correct foot drop and thigh weakness in people coping with the effects of stroke, multiple sclerosis, and other medical conditions.
The device detects gait irregularities and then deploys FES to the weakened or paralyzed limb so users can lift their feet correctly when walking.
About FES
The brain sends electrical signals through the nervous system to tell the body how to move. When injury or disease disrupts communication between the brain and the lower extremities, muscle weakness or paralysis may result.
FES provides low-level stimulation that may replace the electrical signals from the brain and produce movements or functions that mimic natural voluntary actions. With continued stimulation over time, the brain may even recapture the movement and relearn how to perform it without FES.

Indications for Use: The L300 Go System is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion in adult and pediatric individuals with foot drop and/or to assist knee flexion or extension in adult individuals with muscle weakness related to upper motor neuron disease/injury (e.g., stroke, damage to pathways to the spinal cord). The L300 Go System electrically stimulates muscles in the affected leg to provide ankle dorsiflexion of the foot and/or knee flexion or extension; thus, it also may improve the individual’s gait.
The L300 Go System may also facilitate muscle re-education, prevent/retard disuse atrophy, maintain or increase joint range of motion, and increase local blood flow.
L300 Go is contraindicated in patients with a demand-type cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator or any electrical implant. Do not use the system on a leg where metallic implant is directly underneath the electrodes, a cancerous lesion is present or suspected, or on a leg with regional disorder (e.g., fracture or dislocation) which could be adversely affected by motion from the stimulation. Use caution in patients with diagnosed or suspected cardiac problems or epilepsy.
