Revolution in rehabilitation
WalkAide by Innovative Neurotronics, Inc, drop foot functional electrical simulation system is shown in use.
Neurorehabilation is applying advanced technology for the healing and restoration of impaired body functions. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling, robotic treadmill gait training, and virtual reality exercises are aiding children with cerebal palsy. And
a drop foot functional electrical stimulation (FES) system, the WalkAide by Innovative Neurotronics, Austin, TX, is using a patented tilt sensor technology for timely stimulation of the peroneal nerves via surface electrodes causing the foot to dorsiflex (movement that brings the top of the foot towards the lower leg) at the right time during the gait cycle. Proper fitting will allow for more natural, efficient, and safe walking pattern, with or without footwear. These are just a few of the advancements in today’s rehabilitation revolution.Want to use this article? Click here for options!
