I've been curious about this for a while. Might take them up on their money-back trial period. Anybody else game? We could do a group review.

Default gait aid
Husband's MDS is part of a research project utilizing this device. Maintains my husband is not eligible because freezing episodes are not a prominent part of his symptoms complex. wondered if it would help with fluidity of movement and thus be of use to those without freezing episodes. madelyn

Default Trying the Gait
After months of sitting on the fence, I decided to give it a try.
I just ordered the device today on a monthly "lease to own" basis. The way I look at it, if it doesn't work, I blew a couple of hundred bucks, at most on a worthwhile experiment. And if it DOES work, it's worth every penny!
I will let you know of any results.
