An implantable peroneal stimulator has been developed to improve the rehabilitation of the drop foot patients who cannot use or refuse the use of conventionally applied peroneal braces. The small size promotes convenient attachment on the stimulation site after a minor surgical intervention. During the past two years twenty implants have been applied. The influence of different stimulation parameters upon the correction of anomalies during walking has been studied using clinical and computer-supported assessment. Possible noxious effects on the peroneal nerve have been studied by measuring nerve conduction velocity. The stimulator is well accepted by patients. Clinical observations show a significant correction of equinovarus and improved gait.
一种可植入式腓骨刺激器已被研发出来，用于改善那些无法使用或拒绝使用传统应用的腓骨支具的足下垂患者的康复情况。其体积小，在进行小手术干预后便于附着在刺激部位。在过去两年中，已进行了20例植入手术。使用临床和计算机辅助评估方法，研究了不同刺激参数对行走过程中异常矫正的影响。通过测量神经传导速度，研究了对腓总神经可能产生的有害影响。该刺激器深受患者欢迎。临床观察表明，马蹄内翻足有显著矫正，步态也有所改善。
