Sunny Hills Orthopedic Services is on board with the latest technology for treatment of “foot drop”, (a condition where the person isn’t able to pull their foot up to clear the ground as the leg swings forward during walking). Foot drop most frequently can be a symptom of persons who have sustained a stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or an incomplete spinal cord injury.

The Ness L-300 system automatically provides stimulation to an intact peroneal nerve in the involved leg to lift the foot when needed during the gait cycle. The Ness L-300 allows the wearer to make some adjustments as they walk with a wireless controller.
