Objective: To investigate the feasibility of unsupervised community use of an array-based 1 automated setup (AS) functional electrical stimulator (FES) for current foot-drop FES users. Participants: Participants (N=7) with diagnosis of uni-lateral foot-drop of central 7 neurological origin (>6mo), who were regular users of a foot-drop FES system (>3mo).

The evidence base for impact of public involvement in rehabilitation technology design is in need of development. Public involvement in co-design of rehabilitation devices can lead to technologies that are fit for purpose. Rehabilitation researchers need to consider the merits of active public involvement in research.
