Preliminary testing of a dual-channel electrical stimulator for correction of gait.
A dual-channel orthotic electrical stimulator was designed for daily use at home by plegic and paretic patients who had completed a hospital rehabilitation program. With two independent channels, two muscle groups can be stimulated in chosen sequences. A microcomputer accommodates the stimulation sequences to the gait cadence of the patient for the stance and swing phase separately.
