Innovative Neurotronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hanger Orthopedic

Group, announced in early February that its new electrical stimulation

product had received 510(K) clearance from the Food and Drug

Administration.

The device, called the WalkAide System, stimulates nerves and muscles

to counter a lack of ankle dorsiflexion. The company claims the device

will aid a patient's gait and mobility.

Hanger CEO Ivan Sabel said the system would help with the company's

goal of entering the neuromuscular field.

Have any of you tried this? I received an invite to view the product

and wondered if it would work for someone with CMT? It looks

interesting to be and less cumbersome than the AFOs.

Thanks!
