Abstract

The paper describes the design of two dual-channel constant-current electrical stimulators for use by children with diplegic spastic cerebral palsy. One stimulator for correction of equinus gait. The technique used to isolate the two stimulus output channels permits expansion to multiple stimulus channels using a single DC/DC convertor. False triggering of the functional stimulator by footswitches has been accounted for electronically. Examples reflecting the use of the device in the course of gait studies are presented.
