FES for Foot Drop

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for foot drop is a therapy that helps people who have difficulty lifting their foot, often due to conditions like stroke or nerve injury. FES uses small electrical pulses to stimulate muscles in the lower leg, promoting coordinated movements, especially during walking. This stimulation helps lift the foot to prevent tripping and improve mobility. By activating the muscles at the right times, FES can enhance walking patterns, increase confidence, and aid in rehabilitation, making daily activities easier for individuals with foot drop.
