From 9-10am in the ChildServe Training Center, Bioness will demo some of their e-stim orthotics (L300 & H200) which use electrical current to support a weak limb (leg or arm) instead of a brace. This demo does not require sign-up to attend.

From 10am-3pm, there will be a trailer in the parking lot outside of the Training Center that will house Bioness’ ceiling track gait and transfer system (Vector) and the BITS. Demos will be scheduled on the hour and require sign-up. Each hourly demo is limited to 8 people.
