WalkAide® is an advanced medical device that may provide immediate and dramatic improvement in walking caused by stroke, incomplete spinal cord or traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis.
Interruption of the natural nerve-to-muscle communication between the brain and the leg inhibits one’s ability to lift tthe foot naturally. WalkAide restores this lost communication by sending electrical signals to your peroneal nerve, which controls movement in your ankle and foot. These gentle electrical impulses activate the muscles to raise your foot at the appropriate time during each step. The result is a smoother, more natural and safer walking motion.
