Footswitch Placement
The footswitch is used to detect when the foot is on or off the ground and triggers the
stimulation to occur at the correct time in the walking cycle. The footswitch is placed on the
underside of a cork or solid foam insole with the black disc of the footswitch stuck to the
insole. Soft foam insoles are not recommended as they may move in the shoe. The insole
allows the footswitch to be moved from shoe to shoe easily and may also reduce wear,
prolonging the life of the footswitch. Cut the insole to size using a pair of scissors or obtain
the correct size.
Your clinician will set-up the position of the footswitch to best suit your walking.
