The wireless foot drop system innoSTEP-WL improves walking with foot drop due to MS and shows impressive progress in everyday life.
Foot drop is a common consequence of neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Those affected have difficulty lifting their foot when walking, which makes walking unsteady and strenuous. Climbing stairs, longer distances or uneven surfaces pose major challenges. This is exactly where the wireless foot lifter system innoSTEP-WL comes in.
The before-and-after effect is often impressive: without support, the gait appears wobbly and laborious. As soon as the innoSTEP-WL is activated, the foot lifts off again effortlessly and the gait becomes more fluid and stable. Patients can move more safely, climb stairs or even walk barefoot without having to rely on orthoses. The system stimulates the affected muscles through functional electrical stimulation and supports the nerves so that the muscles are contracted in a targeted manner.
Another advantage: the innoSTEP-WL is easy to use, can be worn flat and inconspicuously under clothing and can be prescribed by health insurance companies. This not only increases mobility, but also significantly improves the quality of life of those affected.
Information on MS and foot drop:
Foot drop often occurs in people with MS, as the nerve impulses between the brain and foot are impaired. This leads to difficulties lifting the foot and increases the risk of falling. Find out more about foot drop and MS here.
After a stroke, slipped disc or traumatic brain injury, nerve damage can also lead to a loss of control when moving the foot. Those affected can then barely lift their foot, which leads to considerable limitations. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) helps to regain mobility.
