Description:
This is a single-channel stimulator.
After a stroke or accident, those affected often suffer from a permanent central weakness of the foot. The affected foot is no longer properly controlled, which makes walking more difficult. The highly developed WalkAide fitting concept uses the latest sensor technology to analyze the movements of your leg and foot. It sends electrical signals to the peroneal nerve, which controls the movements in the ankle and foot. These gentle electrical impulses prompt the muscles to lift the foot at the right time, making walking easier.
Features / components:
- reduces the tendency to drop the foot
- prevents movement restrictions
- promotes active movement deflection
- promotes active muscle contraction in certain phases of the gait cycle
- prevents muscle atrophy
- easy to put on and take off
- small closed device worn on the leg below the knee
