Foot drop system innoSTEP-WL – Connecting the cuff

Attaching the cuff to the stimulation unit

The wireless foot drop system innoSTEP-WL as remedy for weak foot dorsiflexion is very easy to handle and to maintain. The cuff, which is attached to the leg, and the stimulation unit are connected via press studs.
 
The press studs not only fix the cuff to the stimulation unit, they also forward the electrical signal to the tissue electrodes. Therefore, the cuff needs to be correctly attached again, in order to ensure the functionality of the device.
 
To attach the cuff to the stimulation unit, please follow the following steps:

• Insert the tongue of the stimulation unit carefully into the respective opening of the cuff.
• Make sure that the press studs located on the tongue face the tissue electrodes.
• Insert the tongue of the stimulation unit completely into the cuff, so that the unit matches the yellow outline on the cuff.
• Feel with your fingers for the press studs beneath the tissue electrodes and close them by pushing firmly – you should hear a clicking noise.
