The Bioness L100 Go FES System

The Bioness L100 Go is a cutting-edge functional electrical stimulation (FES) device designed to support individuals with weakened leg muscles. It is particularly beneficial for those experiencing drop foot, a condition that hinders the ability to lift the foot properly, leading to mobility challenges and an increased risk of stumbling.

This innovative device works by delivering targeted electrical stimulation through an electrode embedded in a calf band. By activating specific muscles and nerves, the Bioness L100 Go helps restore movement and improve walking efficiency.

Whilst Bioness have released the upgraded L300 Go, the L100 Go is still a suitable option for many.

What is the difference between the L100 Go and the L300 Go?

The L300 Go is equipped with a more sophisticated electrode that allows the orthotist to accurately direct stimulation to specific areas. This improved precision provides better control of supination (foot turning out) and pronation (foot rolling in), ensuring the foot is lifted in a way that closely mimics natural movement.

Additionally, the L300 Go is designed for adaptability, offering the option to integrate a thigh piece at any stage. This add-on enhances support and functionality to the knee and hip joints, catering to individual needs as they evolve.

How Does the Bioness L100 Go FES System Work?

The Bioness L100 Go delivers precise electrical stimulation through the skin to help activate weakened muscles. This is achieved using an electrode embedded within the calf cuff. The stimulation is gentle, often described as a tingling sensation that gradually becomes less noticeable over time.

Unlike traditional FES devices, the Bioness L100 Go is completely wireless. Its advanced features include:

This intelligent system ensures the foot is lifted at the optimal moment, helping to improve stability, reduce the risk of trips and falls, and conserve energy while walking.
