Thanks to all for the helpful responses & for validating my belief that much depends on the quality of the PT.

A few years ago I was working on strengthening my feeble leg muscles & balance in a hospital rehab dept. I felt I was making progress after about 10 sessions. Unfortunately the PTs must rotate to bedside PT and I was assigned another with crappy people skills. She spent much of our time together discussing her social life w/the other PT & I was merely an afterthought. So I became a PT dropout. But how did dropping out help me? Not so much.

I'd like to explore the possibility of some kind of brace(s) to shore up my weak legs. I don't have foot drop so I'm not a candidate for AFOS. I wish there were a motorized thingy I could use around my apt that would not be as big & cumbersome as a scooter or a wheelchair. Any engineers reading this?

I think shopping around for an excellent PT is key. Most neuros I've seen have stressed PT and now that winter's fading, I can begin my quest.
