Function and Freedom Are Within Reach
The H200 Wireless Hand Rehabilitation System uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help patients perform therapeutic and task specific activities to improve lost hand function as a result of stroke or spinal cord injury.1,3
Supporting the wrist in a functioning position, the H200 Wireless delivers low-level FES to the nerves that control the muscles in the hand and forearm. The stimulation can help patients produce movements or functions that mimic their natural voluntary actions, restoring the ability to reach, grasp, pinch, and open and close the hand.
With continued use over time, the H200 Wireless may even help the brain relearn how to perform the movement without FES.
The H200 Wireless can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury resulting in functional deficits and impairments of the hands and arms.1,3
Review the Research Studies
Check out some of the highlights of the clinical evidence about the H200 Wireless Hand Rehabilitation System. Read more on the Reseach Studies page.
Benefits of FES in upper extremity rehabilitation:
- Improved ability to perform activities of daily living1
- Reduced muscle spasticity3
- Improved volitional movement of the hand and wrist
- Re-education of muscles over time
FES may also reduce or prevent secondary complications in patients and help maintain or increase range of motion, increase local blood circulation, and prevent or slow muscle disuse atrophy.
Success Stories
“I can now play catch with my little boy and girl.”
A traumatic brain injury in October 2005 left Kyle with “very minimal” use of his right hand.

Indications for Use:
The H200 Wireless System is an electrical stimulation device indicated for the following uses:
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
- Improvement of hand function and active range of motion in patients with hemiplegia due to stroke or upper limb paralysis due to C5 spinal cord injury.
- NeuroMuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
- Maintenance and/or increase of hand range of motion; Prevention and/or retardation of disuse atrophy; Increase in local blood circulation; Reduction of muscle spasm; Re-education of muscles.
H200 Wireless is contraindicated in patients with a demand-type cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator or any electrical implant. Do not use the system on a hand where metallic implant is directly underneath the electrodes, a cancerous lesion is present or suspected, or on a hand 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.
