The WalkAide Stimulator System
The WalkAide is a battery-operated, single channel
electrical stimulator that is used to improve walking ability. It
stimulates a foot lift at the appropriate time during
the walking cycle. A foot drop occurs when a person is unable
to actively lift the foot, resulting in the foot slapping on the
floor or the toes dragging during walking. The WalkAide stim-
ulates a nerve as it passes below the knee and activates the
muscles that raise the foot. The WalkAide Patient Kit consists
of a WalkAide Control Unit, a WalkAide cuff, and an electrode
lead cable. A foot sensor is an optional item.
