Walkaide® II

Functional electrical stimulation for foot drop with Walkaide® II

Walkaide® II

Overview

Walkaide® II is an advanced functional electrical stimulation (FES) system designed to assist individuals experiencing foot drop – a condition where lifting the front part of the foot is difficult due to neurological impairments. By delivering mild electrical impulses to stimulate the peroneal nerve, Walkaide® II facilitates dorsiflexion during walking, promoting a more natural gait pattern.

Who it can help

  • People recovering from stroke
  • People with spinal cord injury
  • People with acquired brain injury
  • People with multiple sclerosis
  • People with cerebral palsy
  • Individuals experiencing foot drop due to upper motor neuron lesions

How it works

Worn just below the knee, Walkaide® II uses built-in sensors to detect leg movement and walking speed. Based on this data, it delivers timed electrical stimulation to the peroneal nerve, activating muscles responsible for lifting the foot. This real-time adjustment helps users clear their toes during the swing phase of gait, reducing the risk of tripping and improving walking efficiency.
