Various studies^1,3,5,6have shown that electrical stimulation from the NESS H200 significantly improves functionality and or/function.

Below are two graphs from one of these studies, which illustrate this.

Lifting a pan
Before treatment, none of the chronic CVA patients was able to lift a pan without the aid of the NESS H200. After three weeks of exercising, 10% of patients were able to do so. After a little practice, virtually all patients were able to lift the pan with the aid of the NESS H200.

Opening a bottle
Before treatment, 17% of the chronic CVA patients were able to open a bottle without the help of the NESS H200. After three weeks of exercise, 24% of the patients were able to do so. Virtually all patients were able to open the bottle with the aid of the NESS H200 after a little practice.
