Allied
Orthotics & Prosthetics is pleased
to be a full service WalkAide care
center. This easy-to-use
award-winning device has been
featured on Good Morning America and
has made life easier for many
patients with foot drop.
WalkAide
Provides the Following Advantages
for the Patient:

one-handed operation and
application
Small, self-contained unit that

The
WalkAide can effectively counteract
foot drop by electronic stimulation
of the peroneal nerve for users who
have lost the ability to lift their
foot, often due to peroneal nerve
palsy or damage to the central
nervous system such as stroke,
incomplete spinal cord injury,
traumatic brain injury, cerebral
palsy and multiple sclerosis.
WalkAide is available by
prescription only. Please see your
doctor or
contact Allied Orthotics &
Prosthetics for fitting &
professional care.
Helping
people regain mobility and
independence from the debilitating

The
