The STIMuSTEP is an implanted neuromuscular stimulator
intended for the correction of dropped foot following an upper motor-neurone
lesion. While providing the same function as the ODFS,
the device removes the need to accurately place electrodes each day,
reduces the sensation of the stimulation and improves the convenience
for the user. The device can only be supplied after initial successful
trials or usage of an external ODFS unit.
The STIMuSTEP is implanted under general anaesthetic in a day surgery procedure
taking approximately 1 hour.
