Waterloo, IA — March 2, 2009 Clark & Associates Prosthetics and Orthotics is proud to announce that they have completed training and are the first orthotic and prosthetic company in Iowa to provide the Bioness NESS L300™ Foot Drop System.

By committing to this leading edge technology, Clark & Associates strives to improve the care for persons with foot drop, suffering from neurological disorders including stroke, multiple sclerosis, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy. The certified practitioners at Clark & Associates have been trained to evaluate and fit patients, offer the device for home use and refer patients for follow-up therapy to a Bioness-trained rehabilitation facility

Foot drop is a partial leg paralysis that prevents the foot from lifting, causing instability and making walking difficult for persons suffering from conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, incomplete spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy. The NESS L300 treats foot drop by stimulating the muscles and nerves that lift the foot.

“With an emerging emphasis on technology within the O&P profession, we at Clark & Associates believe the NESS L300 is the perfect addition to our leading portfolio of products and services,” said Dennis Clark, President of Clark & Associates.
