Helping patients walk again
discuss this article
Physical Therapists are helping people with central nervous system disorders learn to walk again. A wireless computer-enabled device aids those suffering from a condition called foot drop, which happens when someone cannot raise the front part of the foot to accommodate a smooth gate. When an individual swings his or her legs forward, a sensor in the shoe signals a microprocessor, which sends an electrical pulse to the nerve that controls the foot, lifting it, and allowing the patient to walk smoothly.More here:http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2007/1010-helping_patients_walk_again.htm (Source: The Stephen Kite Practice)
