Bioness H200 - New Therapy for Paralyzed Muscles
Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital is the only hospital in the Memphis area to offer a new therapy to help patients who have injured their central nervous system from a stroke, brain injury or spinal cord injury.
A device called the Bioness H200 fits over the patient's arm and hand, giving therapists a way to custom fit electrodes which activate paralyzed muscles. Repetition of movement helps teach healthy parts of the brain to relearn lost function. The Bioness H200 is used in addition to traditional therapies.
