3. Operating Modes

Standby mode

The system is ON, and waiting for commands. Stimulation is not applied

in the Standby mode.

Note

While using the system, the various components of your NESS

L300 must not be separated. If the system components are

separated for any reason, radio contact will be lost and the system

will cease all activity until communication is reestablished.

Gait mode

Select this mode for walking. In the Gate mode the stimulation is

synchronized by the foot sensor, in order to achieve foot lifting during the

swing phase of walking and foot rest during the stance phase.

Training mode

Select this mode for muscle training while you are sitting or lying down.

The purpose of the training mode is to facilitate muscle re-education,

prevent or retard disuse atrophy of the calf muscles, maintain or improve

range of motion of the ankle joint, reduce spasticity and improve local

blood circulation.

In the training mode the stimulation is applied in pre-determined cycles

adjusted by your clinician and works independently of the foot sensor

Note

The training mode can also be used to check if the orthosis was

placed accurately on the leg. If the foot does not respond to the

stimulation as it should, the user should reposition the orthosis
