GAIT MODULATION SYSTEM AND METHOD

An electrical stimulation orthosis and method therefor, the orthosis including: (a) an at least semi-rigid frame configured to substantially envelop a limb segment, the frame having at least one first complementary mechanical fastener associated therewith; (b) a surface electrical stimulation electrode assembly associated with, and supported by, the frame, the assembly having a surface stimulation electrode for contacting at least one stimulation point on the limb segment, the surface electrode assembly having an electrode base for electrically associating, via the frame, with a stimulator unit for providing a stimulation signal to the surface electrode, the electrode base having a top face for receiving the stimulation electrode, and a bottom face having at least one second complementary mechanical fastener, the first and second fasteners adapted for reversible attachment and detachment, at a plurality of locations on the frame, thereby enabling the electrical stimulation electrode assembly to be adjustably and reversibly positioned on the frame. 114 '/ 0000 0 0 000000 0 00000 00000 00 00 00:60000000 0 0 0 000000 00 0 0000 000 000 a0 a0 000a0a 000a 0 0 0 0 a00. 00:00 0 0 0 .0.000000 0 0000000 0 0 0 0 0 000 0 0 0 00000000 o 0 . :0 0 . co~ooo 0. 000 !oj
