Foot drop FES Stimulator (Stim Unit)

Medical Products Walkaide Foot Drop system for treatment drop foot

XFT-2001D is a functional electrical stimulation (FES) or Neuro Rehabilitation device for the treatment of foot drop or Dropped Foot caused by Brain or Spinal diseases or Trauma, such as Stroke (CVA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Spinal Cord Injury, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Brain Tumor, or Cerebral Palsy (CP). The XFT-2001D Foot Drop System is intended to provide ankle dorsiflexion in individuals with foot drop.

The walking theory of the foot drop system 

Stimulation causes the foot to lift (dorsiflexion) and tilt slightly (eversion). Stimulation also can be timed to walking by using a pressure switch placed in the shoe under the heel. Stimulation begins when the heel is lifted from the ground and ends just after the heel strike. Stimulation causes the foot to lift and stabilizes the ankle when the foot is returned to the ground.

XFT-2001D Foot Drop System utilizes intelli-sensor technology and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to analyze the movement of the leg and stimulate the appropriate nerves, prompting the foot to lift with every step.

– Improve ground clearance;
– Reduce tripping and falls;
– Reduce compensatory movements such as hip hitching or circumduction (swing the leg out sideways);
– Reduce effort of walking;
– Reduce spasticity in the calf and quadriceps muscle;
– Increase walking speed;

– Improve the position of the foot in weight bearing resulting in greater stability in stance;
– Greater walking range of mobility;
– Greater safety, confidence, and independence while walking;
– Long-term therapeutic benefit resulting in improved unaided walking.
– Heel strike with eversion;

Foot Drop System XFT-2001D can be effective where movement has been lost due to nerve injury/disease within the brain or spinal cord. This is called an upper motor neuron lesion. If you are experiencing foot drop (drop foot), paralysis or paresis as a result of a Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Traumatic Brain Injury, or Spinal Cord Injury, you may benefit by using Foot Drop SystemXFT-2001D. The Foot Drop System is also used by clinicians as an FES tool for a variety of Neurorehabilitation.

PLEASE NOTE: Foot Drop System XFT-2001D is not suitable for lower motor neuron conditions. This is where the nerve that runs from the spinal cord to the muscle is damaged. This is the case in conditions such as:

Peripheral nerve lesions
1. Poliomyelitis (Polio) 2. Motor neuron disease 3. Guillain-Barre syndrome
