Walkaide FES systems for foot drop

Benefits of the WalkAide System:

Therapists can achieve the best possible outcomes for their patients by using the WalkAide throughout all the stages of neurorehabilitation.

• It increases walking speed with less fatigue.
• Gradually enhance gait quality.
• Prevent muscle wasting.
• Enhance circulation, muscle health, and bone strength.
• Support brain and nerve adaptation (neuroplasticity).

Other Choices for Rehab Use:

Tilt Function:

• Walking Rehabilitation: It will optimize patient handling and sensory input.
• Ambulation Therapy: It boosts motor learning with continuous practice during the swing phase.
• Random Practice: It enhances the gait across different surfaces and environments.
• Biofeedback: Use sound cues during stimulation to aid the tibial movement.

Manual Setting

• Pre-Gait Skills: Practicing weight shifting for better transition movements.
• Segmented Practice: Use controlled steps in training.
• Walking Rehabilitation: Manage ankle flexion for safe walking.
• Exercise and Walking: Vary stimulation to aid and challenge progress.

Heel Setting

• Functional Movements: It will guide forward weight shifting in sitting and assist with sit-to-stand transitions.
• Initial Walking Skills: It has controlled weight shifting and stepping.
• Basic Walking Practice: To enhance motor control, walk-in parallel bars or for short distances.

Workout Mode

• Bedside therapy: By doing this, the user can enhance circulation, movement, strength, etc.
• Rehab and Home Exercise: It builds muscle energy and endurance, casualizes tone, etc.
• Neuromuscular re-education enhances learning through sensory feedback from consistent, functional, and repetitive movement.

• User-friendly options

WalkAnalyst 5.1.0 introduces various user-friendly options and features.

• The Express offers pediatric and adult programming options, allowing fast patient fitting.
• People can easily switch between tilt, heel, or hand stimulation modes with a single click.
• It is easy to adjust, transfer, or restore programs.
• It allows for objective data collection during 10-meter and 6-minute walk tests.
• Easily compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10 and tablets with touchscreen facilities.

WalkAide Long-Term Impact:

The WalkAide can replace traditional foot braces by reactivating a person’s nerve pathways and muscles. It prevents muscle wasting and reduces walking fatigue, a common issue associated with conventional bracing methods.

Unique Features of WalkAide

It has competitive advantages that are not found in other FES systems.

• Self-Contained Efficiency: This system is designed for consistent results and easy maintenance.
• Extended Battery Life: For user convenience, it runs on a single AA battery for up to 30 days without any daily charge.
• Advanced Motion Analysis: With features like inclinometer and accelerometer technology, it will accurately analyze lower leg movements for natural walking patterns.
• Flexible Wear Options: It is compatible with various types of footwear or even without shoes.
• Built to Last: Ensuring reliability and longevity, it has a 2-year WalkAide limited warranty.

Decades of research have shown the effectiveness of FES, and over 20 clinical trials over 15 years have demonstrated the benefits of the WalkAide System.
