Long-term results following electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve using the ActiGait® system in 33 patients with central drop foot

Abstract

Direct electrical stimulation of the peroneal nerve, using the implantable ActiGait® system, enables a therapy of the centrally caused drop foot, to improve the gait of the patients. In this paper, we present long-term results at 36-month follow-up post implantation.
