Summary

People with neurological conditions often have difficulty walking, including problems such as foot drop. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that uses electrical signals to activate muscles and support walking. The L300 device is designed to help lift the foot during each step.

This study will evaluate how using the L300 affects walking performance. Researchers will measure walking speed, step length, and walking symmetry using objective gait assessment tools. The study will also explore whether people with different neurological conditions respond differently to FES.

The goal of this research is to improve understanding of how FES influences walking and to support more personalized rehabilitation approaches.

DEVICE

Functional Electrical Stimulation

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an established therapeutic approach that applies electrical currents to peripheral nerves to elicit muscle contractions, thereby facilitating movement in individuals with neurological impairments. FES has demonstrated benefits for improving motor function and gait in populations such as stroke survivors, individuals with spinal cord injury, and those with multiple sclerosis. By activating muscles during walking, FES can enhance gait parameters including speed, stride length, and symmetry, ultimately supporting greater independence and mobility.
