A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of the WalkAide Electrical Stimulator for the Treatment of Foot-drop:
The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine is conducting a research project to assess the effectiveness of a new functional electrical stimulator (called "WalkAide") for the treatment of foot-drop following cerebrovasular accident. The self-contained device is anticipated to increase walking speed and improve quality of life for persons with foot-drop when compared to the traditional standard-of-care: an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO).
For additional information on this study, please contact the Co-Investigator, Dr. Daniel C. Abrahamson.
