• weight transfer in standing – training the patient to weight bear on the affected limb
• hip extension in stance – activation of the gluteal muscles triggered by the foot switch during walking
• knee extension in stance – activation of the quadriceps during walking, triggered by the foot switch
• knee flexion during swing phase of walking through activation of the hamstrings

The ODFS Pace & Pace XL include features to make gait training effective for the clinician and rewarding for the patient with treatment outcomes that can be observed and documented. Features include:

• An activity logger for monitoring walking & exercise activity.
• An Exercise function, with timer, provides cyclic stimulation for muscle conditioning prior to walking to strengthen muscle, reduce spasticity, increase ankle ROM, accustom users to stimulation or reduce edema
• Advanced gait re-education programs allow stimulation of any lower limb muscle, triggered by the foot switch during the gait cycle.
• Stimulation can be activated during walking with heel rise (unweighting) or heel strike (placing weight) with the affected or nonaffected limb.
• A stimulation delay can be set so that stimulation commences at the appropriate time for slower walkers
• Pre-programmed defaults offer simplicity and speed in setting gait parameters
• Gait parameters can be adjusted while the patient is walking
• A readily available 9 volt battery powers the unit
