Parkinson’s affects the control of movement sequences in the brain. Communication between nerves and muscles no longer functions smoothly. As a result, movements can become slower, uncontrolled or incomplete.
The muscles responsible for lifting the foot can also be affected. This is particularly evident when walking:
The limitations not only affect them physically, but often also emotionally and socially. Many people avoid longer journeys or activities for fear of falling.
Innovative technologies can help people with Parkinson’s to improve their mobility in everyday life. One modern option is functional electrical stimulation (FES).
Targeted electrical impulses are used to activate the muscles when the foot is lifted. The aim: a more natural and safer gait pattern.
Modern, wireless systems in particular enable discreet and convenient use in everyday life. Support is provided at exactly the right moment when walking and can therefore help:

Foot drop is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS) and can have a significant impact on everyday life. Those affected have difficulty lifting their foot when walking – this can lead to unsteadiness, stumbling and an increased risk of falling. Many experience not only physical limitations, but also growing insecurity in daily life.
With the first warm rays of sunshine and the fresh green of nature, many people automatically feel the urge to spend more time outdoors again. Spring is not only a new beginning for nature, but also an ideal opportunity to revitalize your body and recharge your batteries.
Biofeedback makes invisible bodily processes visible – and this is precisely where its strength lies. Processes such as muscle tension, heartbeat and breathing normally take place unconsciously. With biofeedback, you learn to consciously perceive and actively influence these processes.
The goal: more control over your own body, fewer complaints and a significantly improved quality of life.
Foot drop can have a significant impact on everyday life – especially in situations that are actually taken for granted. This includes climbing stairs: What is automatic for many people quickly becomes a challenge for those affected.
The Easter holidays not only mark the start of a short break from everyday life, but also a time of new beginnings. Spring brings longer days, more light and new energy – ideal conditions for making a conscious effort to look after your health again.
Now is a particularly good time to integrate exercise into your daily routine, enjoy the fresh air and recharge your batteries. It is often small changes that make a big difference in the long term.
HELLER MEDIZINTECHNIK wishes you a relaxing Easter holiday, new motivation and a healthy start to the sunny season.
