Told 'there's nothing you can do about foot drop' or tired of wearing a foot brace, AFO or painful FES device? Watch APEX NEURO's success with foot drop

Multiple Sclerosis is the condition we see most often, with foot drop being the most common symptom — so improving dorsiflexion and control in the feet and toes is very familiar to us! Within an hour, Belinda goes from limited range of motion, to being able to lift the toes to fully getting the front arches of her feet clearly off the ground.

Multiple Sclerosis foot drop - regaining lift and control in the toes | Often foot drop is ‘treated’ (worked around) with an FES (functional electrical stimulation) brace/device but for many this either doesn’t work, is too painful, or they do not want to rely on wearing a device/brace. Using a specific type of electrical current, we are able to stimulate the nerves to help the brain and body communicate more effectively.

Multiple Sclerosis: overcoming foot drop & running again with MS. Foot drop is one of the most common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) we work with. Unlike many aids for foot drop, our clients often progress to no longer needing the device whereas many other options are worn permanently. By improving the control over the muscle, at a certain point the device is no longer needed. For Bec, this took us just a few days (you can watch her progress on our social media pages).
