For Treatment of Foot Drop
Dynamic FES for Neuro Rehabilitation
The WalkAide® System is an advanced Functional Electrical (FES) Stimulation System for the treatment of Foot Drop caused by upper motor neuron injury such as:
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
• Stroke (CVA)
• Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
• Cerebral Palsy (CP)
• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Utilizing a tilt sensor and accelerometer technology, the WalkAide stimulates the common peroneal nerve to lift the foot at the right time during the gait cycle, prompting a more natural, efficient, and safe walking pattern. WalkAide users have the freedom to walk with or without footwear, up and down the stairs, and all directions.
Effective from Acute to Post-Rehab Care
Using the WalkAide in all stages of neuro rehabilitation provides the therapist a valuable tool to promote optimal patient outcomes.
• Improve walking speed with less fatigue
• Improve gait quality
• Reduce atrophy
• Improve circulation, muscle condition, and bone density
• Promote Neuroplasticity
