RT300® Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) Therapy System

By combining Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with cycling-based exercise, the RT300 helps patients participate in intensive, activity-based rehabilitation designed to support muscle activation, mobility training, cardiovascular conditioning, and neurological recovery.

At Neuro Robotics Rehab Center, the RT300 is incorporated into individualized rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.

How Does the RT300 Work?

The RT300 uses carefully controlled electrical stimulation delivered through surface electrodes placed on specific muscle groups. These electrical impulses activate muscles in a coordinated pattern while the patient performs arm cycling, leg cycling, or combined upper and lower extremity exercise.

The system continuously monitors patient performance and provides real-time feedback to clinicians, allowing therapy sessions to be customized based on each individual’s abilities, goals, and progress.

Depending on the patient’s condition and level of function, therapy may include passive movement, active participation, or electrically stimulated muscle contractions designed to promote repetitive, task-oriented exercise.

Conditions That May Benefit From RT300 Therapy

RT300 therapy may be incorporated into rehabilitation programs for individuals with:

• Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
• Stroke
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Cerebral Palsy
• Neurological weakness
• Paralysis or partial paralysis
• Mobility impairments
• Muscle deconditioning following neurological injury

Treatment recommendations are individualized and based on each patient’s medical condition, functional status, and rehabilitation goals.

Potential Benefits of RT300 Therapy

Functional Electrical Stimulation cycling may help support rehabilitation by:

• Activating weakened or paralyzed muscles
• Reducing the effects of muscle disuse
• Improving local circulation
• Supporting joint mobility and range of motion
• Assisting with muscle re-education
• Promoting repetitive, activity-based practice
• Encouraging cardiovascular conditioning
• Supporting neuroplasticity and motor learning
• Increasing patient engagement during rehabilitation

The RT300 is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device intended for rehabilitation applications including muscle re-education, prevention of disuse atrophy, relaxation of muscle spasms, improvement of local circulation, and maintenance or improvement of range of motion.

Why Neuro Robotics Rehab Center Uses the RT300

Neurological recovery often requires thousands of repetitions of meaningful movement to help maximize rehabilitation outcomes. The RT300 allows our clinical team to deliver high-intensity, repetitive exercise while simultaneously engaging multiple muscle groups through coordinated electrical stimulation.

By combining advanced rehabilitation technology with physician oversight and individualized therapy programs, the RT300 helps our team provide a comprehensive approach to neurological rehabilitation for both inpatient and outpatient patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the RT300 move my muscles even if I cannot move them myself?

In many cases, yes. Functional Electrical Stimulation can activate specific muscle groups through controlled electrical impulses, allowing muscles to participate in cycling movements even when voluntary movement is limited.

Is RT300 therapy painful?

Most patients describe the stimulation as a tingling or muscle-contracting sensation. Stimulation settings are customized to maximize comfort while achieving therapeutic goals.

Can stroke survivors use the RT300?

Yes. The RT300 is commonly used as part of rehabilitation programs for individuals recovering from stroke, depending on their medical status and clinical goals.

Is the RT300 used for spinal cord injury rehabilitation?

Yes. Functional Electrical Stimulation cycling is frequently incorporated into rehabilitation programs for individuals with spinal cord injuries to help support muscle activation, circulation, conditioning, and mobility training.

Is RT300 therapy available for inpatient and outpatient patients?

Yes. Neuro Robotics Rehab Center incorporates the RT300 into both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs when clinically appropriate.
