Equipment for Kaden's CerebralPalsy

Kaden is a Spunky 11 year old little girl full of wit and always looking for her next adventure.    Kaden lives with her Mom, Dad and her 11 siblings. Kaden was born a Micro Preemie at 26 weeks and has fought all odds to overcome a Severe Grade 3/ Grade 4 Bi-lateral Brain Bleed, Resulting in her now living with Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Palsy.

The Bioness H200 would help with Kaden's range of motion and allow her to gain more control of her muscles.  Which would allow her to ride her bike easier, to carry her own lunch tray and backpack. A vast amount of life skills such as putting her shoes on and bathing.  Kaden continues to receive Occupational therapy and Botox injections that have the same goal but we are now losing some range of motion in her left elbow and not making much lead way with Botox injections that can be painful. The Bioness H200 is very expensive but grants a painless and immediate range of motion.  We are in contact with other funding resources and have been told that while they may be able to help with a part of the funding we will need to gather funding from many different sources. As you know every little bit adds up and the use of a hand is priceless.

 



INFO ABOUT EQUIPMENT

H200 wireless system kit left arm small (h2w-500)

The NESS H200  was designed to provide proprioceptive input and synchronized muscle activity. These movements may facilitate normal patterns, leading to the reversal of learned non-use, improving voluntary movement and functional abilities. Other possible benefits include reducing muscle spasm, increasing or maintaining range of motion, improving local blood circulation, and retarding disuse atrophy. The NESS H200’s orthosis comfortably embraces the arm, and it is easy to put, remove, and position accurately. The unique integration of flexible components and exoskeleton rigidity provide stability and durability, facilitates movement, and maintains optimal electrode contact. Modular polymer components ensure best fit for each individual. The formerly difficult process of finding the accurate placement of each electrode was simplified with the NESS H200’s patented clinical electrode location system. The system allows for the quick detection of the best position of each electrode and its placement in the NESS H200 orthosis for each individual user.
