Has Anyone Had Dystonia In Your Foot And Ankle. My Foot Will Go Into A Slight Spasm Pointing Downward And Inward .I Use An Electric Stim Dev
This is a video of the electric stim device I use to pull my foot up an out opposite of the Dystonia. I use it for about 10 minutes.
Typically through a physical therapist preferably with a good rehab. You can also check with a company that I used to work for Hanger Clinic. Hanger has clinics all over the country but make sure you see an orthotist who has fit a number of them. Ask about their 2 week trial period.
Dystonia in the foot and ankle, where the foot points downward and inward, is a common symptom experienced by some people with Parkinson's disease. Using an electric stimulation device can be one way to manage these spasms.

Very interesting. Where does one buy this item?
The one I have is called “Walkaid “ and is used typically in people with drop-foot. Usually caused from a stroke, MS, brain injury or some type of upper motor neuron lesion. It can be very helpful for some people with PD to help them walk . I only use it in the exercise mode not for walking at this time. I use it for 5-10 minutes max. It works by sending an electronic signal to the perineal nerve in my upper calf causing my foot to respond to the impulse by pulling up and outwards.
What is the machine called?
Duopa
