• The Bioness NESS H200 is a device designed to be used as an aid to gain back muscle function in the arms by using light electrical stimulations. It is recommended for rehabilitation, physical therapy and to reduce frequent muscle spasms. The electric currents target paralyzed muscles in your arm and hand to help build and train the muscle over time to function properly again.
