Infinite Technologies carries the FDA approved WalkAide, which is revolutionary in the treatment of foot drop (also known as drop foot, dropfoot, and footdrop) by leveraging functional electrical stimulation to improve walking ability. The WalkAide system utilizes patented tilt sensor technology and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to analyze the movement of the leg and stimulate the appropriate nerves, prompting the foot to lift with every step. The gentle electrical impulses produced by WalkAide activate the muscles to raise the foot at the appropriate time during the step cycle, creating a more natural and efficient walking pattern.

Although WalkAide is a highly advanced medical device, it is surprisingly small and discreet, and quite easy to use. It consists of a battery-operated, single-channel electrical stimulator, two electrodes, and electroe leads. WalkAide is applied directly to the leg – not implanted under the skin –

and can be worn discreetly under most clothing. A cuff holds the system in place. No surgery is required.

We are a Preferred Provider for the DC region for pediatrics and adults.
