The NESS H200 Hand Rehabilitation System
Regain Arm and Hand Mobility and Recapture Your Independence
The NESS H200 is a breakthrough in FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation). This technology can dramatically assist patients with neurological disorders affecting the function of the arm and hand- including sufferers of stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
The H200 is a non-invasive device worn on the forearm and hand that enables patients to perform everyday activities that were previously impossible. The NESS H200 can help the hand open and close, reduce stiffness, increase range of motion and strength, improve circulation, and assist in regaining awareness of an impaired limb.
In addition to the amazing therapeutic benefits of the H200, patients have also embraced the comfort and ease of use of the system. Unlike other systems, the H200 orthosis incorporates a self-adjusting fit to hold the wrist and hand in a functional position. This superior fit, coupled with the H200 electrode placement, allows patients to remove and replace the device without compromising therapy effectiveness. Also, the patented technology behind the H200 provides six different stimulation patterns to enable patients to perform a variety of tasks and use it for therapeutic activities as well. The system is also versatile enough to be used in varied settings, including the home, with little technical expertise.
