Bioness L300 Go for Foot Drop & Multiple Sclerosis | Joe Ryan’s Mission of Hope on NBC4

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2016, Joe Ryan struggled with balance and walking challenges that eventually led him to give up golf for nearly six years. Then he was introduced to the Bioness L300 Go®, a functional electrical stimulation (FES) system designed to assist with foot drop. With help from a family member, Joe was able to obtain the L300 Go. That experience ultimately inspired a much bigger mission: helping others facing neurological conditions access assisted walking technology. In this moving NBC4 (WCMH-TV) Columbus story reported by Samantha Bender, Joe meets Katrina George, who is living with a brain tumor that has affected her ability to walk. After months of difficulty obtaining access to the device through insurance, Katrina became the first recipient supported through Joe’s newly established J. Ryan Foundation Strides of Hope and is shown being fit with the Bioness L300 Go. For Joe, the mission goes beyond walking. It is about helping people regain independence, confidence and hope.
