Foot Drop
People who have suffered a stroke, brain or spinal chord injury or are living with a long term condition such as Multiple Sclerosis, often struggle with a foot drop. This means that you are unable to lift your foot up when walking, increasing your falls risk and often making your walking much harder and more tiresome than it used to be. You may have developed compensatory changes in the way you walk, or indeed spend too much time looking at the ground as you walk.
The Bioness L300 Go can help. This is specifically designed to lift your foot as you walk, improving your gait pattern, making the way you walk smoother and more natural.
Bioness L300 Go
We are certified providers of this award winning functional electrical stimulation (FES) wireless device designed to help you manage and recover from foot drop.
The Bioness L300 Go stimulates the affected nerves and the muscle they control, making them contract and causing the foot to lift. This is a proven technology that enhances the ability to walk unaided and allows them to enjoy a higher degree of independence.

Easy To Get Going
Your Bioness L300 Go Bioness foot drop device can be set up during a clinic appointment or if you prefer, in your own home to address foot drop and upper leg weakness due to multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury to name but a few amongst a number of other conditions. If you already own a device, we can apply software upgrades or update settings as required to keep the device working at its best.
The Bioness L300 Go uses advanced gyroscopes, accelerometers and has some clever internal software that detects your movement as you walk. The software then delivers a stimulation to the muscles in your lower leg, at just the right time, to lift your foot when your walking. This improves the clearance of your foot and returns your confidence and enjoyment of safe walking once again. We can alter the settings of this software to customise its performance to your needs.
