Default AutoAmbulator

I do not recall ever seeing this discussed here. Apparently this device was originally developed to assist with spinal cord injuries but they are finding much better success with PD & MS patients. Two of the advanced Parkie's in our therapy group are now starting treatment and seeing positive results! Both of these men were confirned with walkers but are now making slow but sure progress in walking unassisted. It will be interesting to see the outcome. I just wondered if any of you were aware of this????
