Functional Electrical Stimulation Device for Foot Drop Rehabilitation

Product Overview

This rehabilitation device uses Functional Electrical Stimulation to assist patients who experience difficulty lifting their foot during walking due to Foot Drop.

The device delivers gentle electrical stimulation to activate the muscles responsible for ankle lifting. This helps patients walk more naturally and safely during rehabilitation.

It is designed to support neurological rehabilitation in conditions affecting nerve-muscle coordination.

What is Foot Drop?

Foot Drop is a condition where the front part of the foot cannot be lifted properly while walking.

This may cause:

• Dragging of the foot

• Difficulty clearing the ground while walking

• Increased risk of tripping or falling

Foot drop commonly occurs in patients recovering from:

• Stroke
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Peripheral nerve injuries

How the Device Works

The device uses Functional Electrical Stimulation technology to stimulate the nerves that control ankle movement.

During walking:

1. The device detects the walking motion

2. Electrical impulses stimulate the muscles

3. The foot lifts during the swing phase

4. Walking becomes smoother and safer

This assists the patient in improving gait and maintaining better mobility during rehabilitation.
