Thoughts on new foot drop rehab device
Hi everyone,
I am part of a group of engineers who designed a new device targeted to help with the rehabilitation of drop foot. We are in the very initial stage of our company with a working prototype and searching for feedback from real people who could benefit from this. It is a wearable mechanism that uses resistance bands in a method that physiotherapists commonly use for drop foot rehab. The device is fully adjustable to help you progress through your rehabilitation and alleviates some of the necessary muscle force needed to walk while providing you ground clearance so you do not drag your toe.
Just looking for some thoughts on what you look for most with this kind of device. How important is cost/what is a range you are willing to spend? Would you prefer if the device was hidden within a legging/pant so that it is more discrete or is that not a major concern? Anything particular that you would look for in a device with this function?
