Most treatments focus on masking the symptom, not fixing the problem. AFO braces mechanically hold your foot up, but they do nothing to rebuild the damaged nerve pathway - so the moment you take them off, you're right back where you started.

Physical therapy requires muscle activation that your damaged peroneal nerve simply can't trigger, making most exercises useless.

So you end up stuck on a never-ending recovery hamster wheel. You pay the medical bills, show up to every appointment, perform tedious exercises - yet you remain completely dependent on your family for basic tasks, still feeling like a burden every single day, with no light at the end of the tunnel.

This is exactly why we equipped the Restural device with electrical muscle stimulation, or EMS as we usually call it. This technology forces your muscles to contract through calibrated electrical pulses - basically mimicking the "lift foot" signal your damaged peroneal nerve can no longer send.

When you sit with your feet on the stimulator, it sends precise electrical impulses directly to your tibialis anterior muscle - the exact muscle responsible for lifting your foot. These pulses force the muscle to contract over 600 times per session, which serves two critical purposes: it rebuilds the atrophied muscle tissue that's been wasting away, and simultaneously retrains your peroneal nerve to fire correctly again through repeated stimulation & improving neural pathway strength.
