ALFESS ™ Functional Electrical Stimulation System
What is ALFESS ™ Functional Electrical Stimulation System?
ALFESS ™ Functional Electrical Stimulation System is a wireless, smart device to assist with foot drop, reduced foot and toe clearance during walking. It stimulates the nerves to achieve the dorsi flexion of the foot.
A waterproof, wearable cuff is applied on the lower leg and uses stainless steel electrodes to connect with the nerve and the muscles. It is an ecological solution as we do not use any additional consumables.
How do I use it?
The device is self–sufficient as there is no need for additional foot switches, allowing you to walk barefoot if you wish.
It uses the sensors to calibrate each time to the appropriate pace and adjust the timing of the provided stimulation. The lightweight, sleek design and magnetic closure make it easier to operate one-handed.
The device has two modes, gait and training, to strengthen the weakened muscles and reduce stiffness in the opposite group.
The operation of this device has 3 points of control: the cuff itself working independently, the mobile app or the separate remote control. You can choose what works best for you for different activities.
