I agree - all satisfied customers. I suppose it works for some and not for others just like anything.

Didn't Erin and AMN try them? They might have something to tell.

Here's the thread where AMN discussed the Bioness, a similar one

Kitty: I am sure it works for a lot of people, but it did not work for me. I spent two hours at Hanger with them trying to make it work. They kept zapping my leg with electricity(?) and nothing happened. They kept upping it and it killed! They were trying to get my toes to lift, and they never did.

Anyhow, even if it worked, it was extremely heavy and I could not imagine dragging that thing around. Maybe for a guy, but I'm small, 5'-1", 96 lbs., and it was cumbersome.

I would still check it out if I were you. It must be helping someone to still be in business. It might work and you may like it.

Forgot to mention that I received a call from Hanger about 6 months ago that insurances are now starting to pay for it. The salesman did not realize it did not work for me. Maybe Medicare will pay for it. I wish it worked, because I need a walker now. Good luck and hope it works for you.
