Key Market Trends

Functional Electrical Stimulator Segment is Expected to Show a Significant Growth Rate in the Foot Drop Treatment Market

- Functional Electrical Stimulator (FES) uses electrical pulses to stimulate the tissues that help in improving the motion, increasing blood circulation and prevents muscular atrophy. According to the study published by World Neurology, in 2019, a FES was evaluated for its effectiveness in regaining the functionality of foot. It was observed that FES was effective in the case of a normal walk among neurogenic drop foot patients.

- Furthermore, the growing burden of the brain and spinal disorders is expected to influence positively on the FES segment market. According to the Neurological Alliance, in 2018, the prevalence of cerebral palsy was approximately 25,273 in England.
