[{"type":"text","content":"NEWTOWN, Pa., May 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Helius Medical Technologies (Nasdaq:HSDT), a neurotech company focused on delivering a novel therapeutic neuromodulation approach for gait deficits, is excited to announce its participation in the prestigious Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) Annual Meeting. The event, which coincides with the May 30 observance of World MS Day, will take place from May 31 to June 3 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colo. Helius will spotlight its cutting-edge Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS®) device, which can improve gait deficit in people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). The CMSC conference brings together renowned experts, healthcare professionals and industry leaders to exchange knowledge, explore advancements in multiple sclerosis (MS) research and discuss the latest therapeutic approaches. Sharing this commitment to enhance the quality of life for people with MS, Helius is proud to participate in the meeting for the second year in a row. Visitors to booth #101 will see the premiere of a new video that showcases the mechanism of action of PoNS Therapy™ and meet with company representatives to learn more about the therapy. This device delivers electrical impulses through nerve fibers on the tongue to stimulate the flow of neural impulses to brain structures that control gait and balance. This creates a cascade of activity in the brain that – when combined with an exercise regimen supervised by a physical therapist – produces a neuromodulatory and neuroplastic effect that can have a significant impact on the independence and personal productivity of people with MS.
