Description:
It is a single-channel stimulator.
After a stroke or accident, those affected often suffer from permanent central weakness in lifting the foot. The affected foot is no longer properly controlled, which makes walking difficult. The highly developed WalkAide supply concept uses the latest sensor technology to analyze the movements of your leg and foot. It sends electrical signals to your peroneal nerve, which controls the movements in your ankle and foot. These gentle, electrical impulses urge the muscles to lift the foot at the right time and thus make walking easier.
