WalkAide FES
Functional Electrical Stimulation for Foot Drop
FDA-cleared wearable device that uses electrical stimulation to improve walking in people with foot drop.
About WalkAide FES
WalkAide is a revolutionary FDA-cleared medical device that uses functional electrical stimulation (FES) to improve walking ability in people with foot drop. The device senses your walking pattern and delivers precisely timed electrical stimulation to lift your foot at the right moment, allowing for a more natural gait and reducing the risk of tripping.
Key Benefits
What makes WalkAide FES special

How It Works
WalkAide uses a tilt sensor to detect when your leg swings forward during walking. At the precise moment, it delivers electrical stimulation to the peroneal nerve, causing the muscles that lift your foot to contract. This lifts your foot and toes, allowing you to walk more naturally and safely.
Sensor Detection
The built-in tilt sensor detects the angle of your lower leg as you walk.
Signal Processing
The device processes the sensor data and determines the optimal time to stimulate.
Muscle Stimulation
Electrical pulses activate the peroneal nerve, causing foot dorsiflexion.
Natural Gait
Your foot lifts at the right time, allowing for safe, natural walking.
