The cuff must be positioned on the leg correctly to achieve effective and efficient stimulation.
Use the Orange visual indicator as a reference for accurate placement of the cuff. Only use
the latch to secure and remove the WalkAide. The Velcro strap is adjusted to an optimal level
by your clinician at the initial visit and should not be altered.
For proper skincare and maximum effectiveness, the electrodes should be replaced every 1 to
2 weeks or immediately upon excessive visible wear. When replacing the electrodes, be sure
NOT to alter the placement of the Black and Red Electrode Locators.
2.6 Electrode Replacement
Disconnect the black and red leads between the WalkAide and the electrodes then remove
the electrodes from the Electrode Locator. Place new electrodes on the Electrode Locators
and feed the leads through the holes toward the outside of the cuff. The BLACK lead is
connected to the electrode on the BLACK Electrode Locator. The RED lead is connected to
the electrode on the RED Electrode Locator. Feed the excess wires in the strap pouch as
indicated in the image below.
Washing Instructions: To wash the WalkAide Cuff fabric liner; first remove the electrodes, and
then remove the liner from the cuff. Do NOT remove the Black and Red Electrode Locators.
Make sure to Hand Wash, do not use bleach and line dry only.
Sizing Note for Clinicians: To achieve the minimum size, the strap can be folded multiple
times and secured using the double-sided Velcro provided.
2.7 WalkAide Cuff Disposable Liner
The purpose of the Disposable Liner is to provide a hygenic barrier between patient and the
cuff. Additionally, it can shorten preparation time in follow up visits. Each Disposable Liner
must be cut to fit the patient’s Cuff. The electrodes placement remains on the liner for return
visits. Remember to place a protective sheet over the electrodes to prevent drying.
