Independence. One Step at a Time. Advancing Outcomes in Neuro Rehabilitation

Dynamic FES for Neuro Rehabilitation The WalkAide System is an advanced Functional Electrical (FES) Stimulation System for the treatment of Foot Drop caused by upper motor neuron injury such as: With WalkAide Without WalkAide Walking speed increased over a 12-month period, while physiological cost index (PCI) decreased. Values (mean + SE) were normalized to 1.0 at the start of the trial for each subject and significant changes are indicated. Walking speed also increased even when the WalkAide was turned off (training effect). Before using WalkAide 1.4 1.2 Utilizing a tilt sensor technology,...

Options for Rehab Use Tilt Mode • Gait Training: Maximize patient handling while increasing sensorimotor input • Swing: nhance motor learning through repeated, forced use during open chain activities (swing) E • Random Practice: Improve gait on all surfaces and generalize to varying environments • Biofeedback: Use audible feedback during stimulation to promote tibial translation Hand Mode • Pre-Gait Skills: Practice weight shifting to improve transition between extensor and exor tone • Blocked Practice: Use controlled stepping and swing initiation in early gait training • Gait Training:...

I have had my WalkAide for five years. My WalkAide has enabled me to optimize my walking faculties, which in turn, increases my mobility and decreases my daily fatigue. I can’t image what memories, events, and activities I would have never experienced because of not owning and wearing my WalkAide. – Debbi, WalkAide user with MS WalkAide Disposable Liner Simplified setup, therapy & follow-up The Disposable Liner has been specifically designed to ease individual patient setup and adjustment. It allows clinicians to create a customized liner for each patient. • educes setup time: Electrodes...

The Most Advanced Long Term Solution WalkAide Lasting Change The WalkAide can replace the traditional foot brace to re-engage a person’s existing nerve pathways and muscles. The recruitment of existing muscles results in reduction in atrophy and walking fatigue, common side effects of bracing. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) vs. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) vs. Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) for Foot Drop Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) for Foot Drop Benets Reduces foot drop Improves gait mechanics Prevents loss of passive ROM Prevents loss of active ROM Active muscle contraction...
