Stability after stroke

First steps after stroke tremble—drop foot drags, knees buckle, balance sways. Without knowing exactly how muscles and gait sync during recovery, progress stalls in fear.

That's why IEE created FES Integration with WalkinSense—intelligent stimulation guided by real gait data. Because stable walking begins with synchronized motion, not isolated exercise.

Real-world
gait patterns


Adapting functional electrical stimulation in stroke rehabilitation.

Limited snapshots of movement

Stroke rehabilitation combines specialized clinical expertise with targeted therapeutic interventions such as functional electrical stimulation (FES).

Clinicians carefully guide recovery, calibrating stimulation and therapy based on in-clinic observations and patient feedback. 

Yet these decisions are often based on limited snapshots of movement, while real walking patterns evolve continuously outside the clinical setting.

Restore coordination

Understanding how stimulation aligns with real gait patterns is essential to restoring stable, coordinated movement.

Step to step

Because gait after stroke is highly variable, the timing between muscle activation and movement can shift from step to step—often beyond what can be observed during structured sessions alone.

The link between stimulation and stability

Stroke survivors face 70% fall risk in first 6 months. Drop foot persists in 40%; hemiparetic gait creates compensatory patterns. Traditional FES shocks muscles blindly; therapy guesses progress. Recovery lacks precision.

IEE's WalkinSense insoles capture 40+ gait parameters—heel strike, toe-off, stance symmetry, cadence—while FES delivers targeted muscle activation. 

Sensors guide timing: stimulate dorsiflexion exactly when needed, building natural patterns.

This motion intelligence turns electrical pulses into neurological reprogramming, restoring safer, smoother gait.

Smart insoles for confident steps

Ultra-thin insoles track every step during real walking—home, clinic, outdoors. Real-time feedback syncs FES: weak tibialis anterior fires precisely at swing phase. Data reveals progress: stride symmetry improves 35%, fall risk drops 45%.

By knowing exactly when muscles need activation vs. natural control, therapy eliminates guesswork—confident steps replace hesitant shuffles, independence returns faster.
