About RT300
RT300 is a motorized therapy system, which utilizes Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
to assist you to cycle on a motorized ergometer.
RT300 is designed to provide a therapy prescribed by your clinician.
This therapy can be:
•passive therapy – where the motor moves your limbs without stimulation
being applied
•active therapy – where electrical stimulation enables your muscles to work
•a combination of active therapy with the motor providing some assistance
RT300 is used from your chair, wheelchair, or bed and there are two variants, which can
be used individually:
•The leg system where your feet are secured in the pedals and legs
supported by the calf rests
•The arm system with your hands are around the arm crank’s hand grip and
your arms supported by optional arm rests
Adhesive electrodes placed on your skin over particular muscle groups are connected
to RT300 by a cable or wirelessly. These are used to stimulate peripheral motor nerves
causing your muscles to contract.
Software in RT300’s SAGE controller controls your therapy including the stimulation
patterns sent to your arms or legs and the operation of the ergometer’s motor to
produce a smooth cycling motion.

Contraindications – when you must OT use RT300
You must NOT use RT300 if:
•You have a cardiac demand pacemaker
•You have unhealed fractures in your lower extremities
•You are pregnant as we do not know whether the electrical stimulation is
safe for your unborn child
You must NOT use RT300 for upper extremities if:
•You have a grade three tear or greater of either rotator cuff
•Shoulder subluxation which cannot be corrected with electrically evoked
contractions or other means such as a sling or taping
• You have unhealed fractures in your upper extremities, shoulder girdle or
upper ribs
Relative Contraindications – things that may increase the risk of
using RT300 although the benefit may outweigh the risk
1. Denervated muscles may not contract in response to stimulation
2. Spasticity will not usually prevent you from using RT300 although you may need to
undertake a stretching program prior to therapy and your therapy settings may
have to be modified to reduce the probability of spasm
3. Heterotopic Ossification/Limited Range of otion should not cause problems if
you can be positioned in your chair to accommodate your range of motion
limitations:
4. At least100 degrees of hip and knee flexion is recommended for leg therapy
without the need for special positioning
5. At least 90 degrees of shoulder flexion and 125 degree of elbow flexion is
recommended for upper extremity therapy without the need for special
positioning
6. Severe Osteoporosis that has progressed to the point where there is an increased
risk of fractures will require the therapy to be adjusted to account for the degree
of osteoporosis
7. Dysesthetic Pain Syndrome may worsen in response to stimulation using RT300
and cause therapy to be too uncomfortable to continue
. Pressure sores or open wounds in area of treatment should heal before RT300 is
used
9. Implanted plates, pins, screws and other hardware must have been in position for
three months before RT300 is used on the affected limbs
10. Implanted stimulators such as vagus nerve, phrenic, cardiac, cochlear,
diaphragmatic stimulators with upper extremity FES
11. alignancy please consult your physician prior to use
