NESS H200 Neuroprosthesis
The NESS H200 Neuroprosthesis is advanced rehabilitation technology that improves hand function following neurological injury. The NESS H200 has two main benefits.
- It reduces the patient's level of impairment by improving blood flow, reducing edema (swelling), increasing range of motion, decreasing convulsive movement (spasticity), decreasing pain and reducing muscle atrophy.
- It improves function in the hand, allowing the patient to use the limb to assist with or independently perform routine activities.
The NESS H200 may be used to treat paralysis and weakness of the hand due to:
- Stroke
- Cerebral Aneurysm
- Brain Tumor
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Spasticity
- Other Neurological Disorders
Services include
- Comprehensive evaluation with therapists who have received specialized training
- Occupational therapy to lessen disability and improve functional independence
- Option to continue with a home-use program
- Ongoing monitoring of progress and adjustment of therapy program as goals are reached
A physician's order is required for a person to be evaluated/treated with the NESS H200 neuroprosthesis. Information for referring physicians may be obtained by calling (508) 833-4141 or on the RHCI website (click here for Guidelines for Physicians).
