The New WalkAide System is a sophisticated functional electrical stimulation (FES) device 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), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Utilizing a patented tilt sensor technology, the WalkAide stimulates the appropriate nerves in the leg causing the foot to lift at the right time during the walking cycle, prompting a more natural, efficient, and safe walking pattern, with or without footwear.
