Abstract		Microprocessor based, surface electrodes peroneal nerve stimulator that allows voluntary control of the stimulation has been developed. Easiness of use, minimum required maintenance and the compliance with the EC requirements were the main design goals. Radio frequency link between the crutch mounted push-button and the stimulator enables the patient to control the timing of stimuladon. The use of conventional foot-switch is also possible for those patients, who are walking without crutches. Cyclic stimulation is provided for training and muscle restrengthening. To accommodate the device to individual needs, the stimulator offers seven adjustable stimulation parameters. The stimulator is small, lightweight, battery operated, energy efficient and can be worn below the knee, discretely beneath most clothing.
