Reimagine Rehabilitation
The L360 is an electrical stimulation device used during rehabilitation after surgery to help:
Strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles Prevent or slow muscle loss (atrophy) due to disuse Improve knee stability and gait
Loss of muscle strength is a common problem after certain surgical procedures, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and total knee replacement. In these cases, the L360 Thigh System may help with knee flexion and extension to build muscle strength and speed a return to an active life.
About NMES and FES
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) provides a series of controlled electrical pulses to promote contractions in weakened muscles. NMES is commonly used to improve muscular strength after injury or surgery.3
In addition, the L360 uses another type of stimulation —functional electrical stimulation (FES)— for lower extremity rehabilitation. FES provides synchronized activation of stimulation during activities such as walking or cycling. FES is designed to be task-specific and to support rehabilitation during everyday activities. Specifically, FES not only facilitates recruitment of weakened or inhibited muscles but also provides timely activation to support functional recovery.
The L360 delivers FES benefits through a lightweight cuff wrapped around the thigh. The cuff has embedded electrodes placed over the affected muscles. The electrodes are connected to a stimulator, and a wireless pulse generator delivers and regulates the timing and intensity of the stimulation to the electrodes.

The L360 Thigh System's Key Features
Contact us to schedule a demonstration of the L360 Thigh System or to get more information about Bioness products.
Indications for Use: The L360 Thigh System is intended 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 L360 Thigh System electrically stimulates muscles in the affected leg to provide knee flexion or extension; thus, it also may improve the individual’s gait.
The L360 Thigh System may also facilitate muscle re-education, prevent/retard disuse atrophy, maintain or increase joint range of motion, increase local blood flow, provide early post-surgical quadriceps and hamstring strengthening, improve post-surgical knee stability secondary to quadriceps and hamstring strengthening, and relax muscle spasms.
L360 Thigh System 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.
