Abstract
A system for treatment of gait disorders reflects, with electrical stimulation patterns fed to electrodes () arranged at the patient, on the event of heel-strike and heel-off, the events being generated by a wireless heel switch (). The pulse generator () also transfers the electrical energy needed to operate the heel switch () wirelessly. The event signal from the heel switch () is modulated in order to achieve a longer operating range.
