Foot drop is a gait abnormality which may arise due to peroneal mononeuropathy. Eye blink signal is a result of the contraction of set of muscles. This eye blink signal may be used to restore mobility and freedom in a non-invasive way for the foot drop patient. The present study deals with the implement of low cost, portable and I Blink Controlled Prosthesis for foot drop correction. The eye blink signal was used to generate a directional trigger as a muscle stimulator. The developed muscle stimulator was used to electrically stimulate the peroneal nerve in the affected leg to pr1ovide dorsiflexion of the foot for correcting the foot drop in the patients during the swing phase.
