There was a communication from a young man who would like to talk with someone about an invention he is marketing for foot drop. Below is the letter sent to me:
My name is Pierluigi Mantovani. My team and I developed a novel functional electrical stimulation device to aid in rehabilitation of foot drop. We originally built this device for my father, who has foot drop from Multiple Sclerosis. After seeing success in his gait, we continued developing the device and tested on people with stroke and PLS as well. We are looking to receive feedback on the device from a clinical perspective, as we would like to make changes based on physiatrists and clinicians use-cases before finalizing the device. Our solution has been helpful for those we have tested on, and aim to get this out soon to help as many people as possible.
Here is a link to a video of my father using the previous prototype:

The best way to reach me is via email at piermantovani@berkeley.edu - please feel free to reach out with any questions, or if you would like to set up a time to talk further. I would love to talk more about the device and how we could work together.
Thanks for your time and help.
Best,
Pierluigi Mantovani
