Treating Foot Drop in People With Multiple Sclerosis Using Electrical Stimulation

NCT02123537 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often suffer from foot drop, which impairs their walking ability. Foot drop is the inability to lift the foot during the swing phase of walking. The purpose of this study is to find out if electrical stimulation of the leg, using the Bioness L300 Foot Drop System, can be used to treat foot drop in people with MS. It is expected that using this system will reduce foot drop, and therefore improve walking ability, particularly in the areas of speed, strength, balance and falls.
