WalkAide and NESS L0300 - FES Dropfoot Control Systems

O&P-L Colleagues:
The concept of electrical stimulation of the common peroneal nerve to
elicit dorsiflexion during swing phase has been around for some time and is
seeing a resurgence with the introduction of implanted and external FES
systems in recent years.
If you have used either the non-implanted Innovative Neurotronics
WalkAide® or the Bioness NESS L0300® FES systems, or both, to control dropfoot, I
would be very interested in hearing about your experiences and outcomes, as
well as your opinions and/or preferences for either system.
Thanks for any feedback you may have to offer!
