Foot drop, walking support and FES — happy to share experience
Hi everyone,
My name is Pouria. I work on wearable electrical stimulation technology for walking support.
Over the past years, our devices have been used by more than 5,000 people outside Europe, including many people living with MS and other neurological conditions. Through this experience, I have learned a lot about the practical questions, concerns, and limitations around FES and wearable stimulation.
I recently joined Shift.ms to listen and learn from your real experiences, not to give medical advice or sell anything here.
If you have questions about how wearable electrical stimulation generally works, what people usually ask before trying it, or what its practical limitations can be, I would be happy to share what I know.
I would also really like to hear from people who experience foot drop, walking fatigue, leg weakness, or difficulty lifting the foot while walking.
Have you tried FES, an AFO, physiotherapy, or another walking aid? What helped, what did not, and what concerns would you have about this kind of technology?
