Recent Developments in Implantable and Surface Based Dropped Foot Functional Electrical Stimulators

One approach to improving the gait of patients with foot drop is the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) as a neural prosthesis. However, there remain limitations with the current clinically used technology and the paper describes some recent developments addressing some of these problems. The paper describes initial work on an alternative surface-based solution and recent developments of an implantable two channel stimulator.
