Indication:

1. Hemiplegic patients with dropped foot,

Effective Mechanism:

1. Common peroneal nerve of patient with dropped foot is stimulated by placing two self-adhesive transcutaneous electrode, one on top of fibula bone where the nerve is close to surface, and the other one on motor point of tibialis anterior. Patient wears a simple-use sock which consist of a miniature button switch under the heel of dropped foot, and walking performance is controlled by means of this switch. As patient walks, miniature stimulator mounted on the kneepad sends stimulating signals which help dorsoflexion and eversion of the foot.
