Freedom To Walk Foundation assists with the funding for the purchase of WalkAides® for children and adults diagnosed with Foot Drop due to Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, or Traumatic Brain Injury.

Foot Drop is a condition characterized by weakness or paralysis of the muscles

involved in lifting the front part of the foot necessary for people to
walk.  It causes a person to either drag
the foot and toes or engage in a high-stepping walk called steppage gait.

WalkAide®
is a revolutionary, electronic device when worn on the calf, sends electric
impulses to the affected foot causing the foot and leg to lift and follow

through as they would with a natural, unimpaired gait.

All proceeds to the Freedom To Walk Foundation, Inc.
