The WalkAide® System consists of a small lightweight cuff and a device the size of a deck of cards worn just below the knee. WalkAide produces gentle electrical stimulation that activates the peroneal nerve and raises the foot at the appropriate time in the walking cycle. The result is freedom from wearing a conventional AFO while experiencing a more natural gait. Less effort is required to walk or perform everyday activities, and patients can wear any shoes or even go barefoot when appropriate.
