Find out more about this deviceThe Odstock Dropped Foot Stimulator (ODFS) is a single channel, foot switch controlled stimulator designed to correct dropped foot in upper motor neurone conditions.
Skin surface electrodes are placed, typically over the common peroneal nerve as it passes over the head of the fibula and the motor point of tibialis anterior. Stimulation produces dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot and in certain electrode configurations produces a withdrawal reflex, adding knee and hip flexion. The rise and fall of the stimulation can be adjusted to prevent a sudden contraction that might induce a stretch reflex of the calf muscles.
There are also facilities to add an extension to the stimulation envelope after heel strike, mimicking the natural activity of the anterior tibialis muscle, which contracts eccentrically to lower the foot to the ground and stabilises the ankle at initial contact.
Dorsiflexion and eversion in swing phase of gait produces:
• Improved ground clearance (Reduced tripping and falls; Reduced compensatory activity; Reduced effort of walking; Reduced spasticity; Increased walking speed)
• Heel strike with eversion ( improved loading response; greater stability in stance)
• Greater range of mobility
• Greater safety, confidence and independence while walking
• Long term therapeutic benefit
• Greater social interaction and improved quality of life

Inabilitatea flexiunii dorsale a piciorului, rezultand in tarairea catre inainte sau aruncarea laterala a piciorului, este o disfunctionalitate frecventa in cazul unei afectiuni neurologice.
Stimularea nervului sciatic popliteu extern (SPE) in vecinatatea osului peroneu poate cauza flexiunea dorsala a piciorului, ajutand de asemenea la flexiune in jurul articulatiilor genunchiului si soldului. Mersul poate fi imbunatatit semnificativ daca stimularea este activata la momente bine definite de timp, prin intermediul unui comutator plasat in incaltaminte, sub calcai.
Utilizatorul va percepe senzatia stimulului electric sub forma unor "furnicaturi" la nivelul pielii, cu care se va obisnui treptat.
Stimulatorul Odstock Dropped Foot are aproximativ dimensiunile unui pachet de carti de joc si se poate purta agatat de cureaua pantalonilor sau in buzunar. Firele conductoare catre electrozii adezivi plasati pe pielea piciorului sunt purtate sub haine. Un mic comutator plat va fi plasat in interiorul incaltamintei sub calcai.
Dispozitivul se poate utiliza ca dispozitiv ajutator in mers sau pentru exercitii terapeutice imbunatatind forta muschilor si controlul voluntar al miscarii.
This device provides even greater user convenience. Wireless activation of the stimulation removes the necessity for having a lead between the stimulator and the footswitch, improving aesthetics. The use of surface electrodes and electrode leads remains to ensure maximum clinical versatility.
Used in conjunction with the OML LINQ TM, discreet stimulation triggering and enhances flexibility by allowing users to easily transfer the system from shoe to shoe.
The stimulator can still be used with the regular footswitch if required.

☑ Electrode lead 1m
☑ Pack of electrodes
☑ Pair insoles
☑ Pace pouch

The Odstock Two Channel Stimulator is essentially 2 ODFS in a single box but with additional circuitry to allow the two stimulators to interact.
It can be controlled by one or two foot switches with all the same control features of the ODFS with the addition of an adjustable delay following initiation on the second channel and variable stimulation frequency.
The device has been used for:
☑ Bilateral drop foot;
☑ Drop foot with push off by adding calf stimulation;
☑ Drop foot with knee flexion by addition of hamstrings;
☑ Drop foot with hip extension by adding gluteals;
☑ Drop foot and knee extension adding quadriceps;
☑ Bilateral quadriceps;
☑ Drop foot with triceps for reducing associated reaction
☑ Assisted cough for high level tetraplegia.

The Odstock Four Channel Stimulator is a neuromuscular stimulator intended for the exercise of weak or paralysed muscle.
It is designed to be simple to use with facilities to vary exercise parameters.
The output can be ramped at the beginning and end of each cycle to give a comfortable sensation and prevent stretch induced spasticity.
Output can be continuous or alternating (Two channels can alternate with two channels, 1 channel with three channels or four channels against a rest period).
Powered by a standard 9V battery, the unit is intended for home use to allow regular exercise. This could reduce the hospitalization period.
The MicroStim2v2 neuromuscular stimulator is intended for the exercise of weak or paralysed muscle.
It is designed to be simple to use with the minimum necessary user controls.
The output stimulation intensity is ramped at the beginning and end of each cycle by pulse width modulation to produce a comfortable sensation.
Powered by a standard 9V battery, this makes it ideal for use at home for regular exercise.
