Excellent Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES ) Device for Treatment of Foot Drop
XFT-2001 Foot Drop System provides a range of neuromuscular stimulators designed to improve the functional ability of people with a neurological condition.
The XFT-2001 Foot Drop System is a single channel, tilt sensor switch controlled neuromuscular stimulator designed to correct dropped foot. Self adhesive skin electrodes are placed on the side of the leg over a nerve called the common peroneal. Stimulation causes the foot to lift (dorsiflexion) and tilt slightly (eversion). Electrode positions can also be chosen that produces a reflex action, adding knee and hip flexion.
Stimulation is timed to walking by using a pressure switch placed in the shoe under the heel. Stimulation begins when the heel is lifted from the ground and ends just after heel strike. Stimulation causes the foot to lift and stabilizes the ankle when the foot is returned to the ground.
XFT-2001 Foot Drop System employs FES to:
l Improved ground clearance
l Reduced tripping and falls
l Reduced compensatory movements such as hip hitching or circumduction (swing the leg out sideways)
l Reduced effort of walking
l Reduced spasticity in the calf and quadriceps muscle
l Increased walking speed
l Heel strike with eversion
l Improves the position of the foot in weight bearing resulting in greater stability in stance
Regular use of the XFT-2001 Foot Drop System will give:
l Greater safety, confidence and independence while walking
l Long term therapeutic benefit resulting in improved unaided walking
PLEASE NOTE: FES is not suitable for lower motor neuron conditions. This is where the nerve that runs from the spinal cord to the muscle is damaged. This is the case in conditions such as:
l Peripheral nerve lesions
l Poliomyelitis (Polio)
l Motor neuron disease
l Guillain-Barre syndrome
