Abstract:
There are some people suffering from dropping foot problem, a
weakness in the communication between the nerve center of the brain and
nerves in the foot, leading to difficulty in lifting the foot when walking
then failure walking the right way. Drop foot correction help patients by
generating electrical pulses at given amplitude, duration and frequency
directed to the foot nerves and help to walk. The FES device is designed
to tow sensors are placed inside the shoe sole which are connected to a
stimulator device by wireless in order to avoid the difficulty of using the
wires while on the move. The device is designed on the basis of low
power consumption and low costing standard microcontroller, standard
electronic equipment’s and standard wireless components were used
which are easily found in the market.
