Default Woweee! I want one!
A friend called me this morning to tell me about this segment that appeared on NBC's Today Show. This is a new electronic stimulus device for drop foot and it's amazing!

I thought it was pretty interesting. They did say it wouldn't work for just anyone. You have to be able to walk some.

Sounds wonderful for those of us who can still walk. Too late for me, Im afraid. A day late and a dollar short..

For you and others, still resonably ambulatory, it could be a godsend..

I hope your Ins. covers it, Cin..

I called a Girlfriend, here in town, about it and she said she had been trying to qualify for it. Her Physiatrist told her she wasn't strong enough for it, yet. She needed more PT.

So,I guess, it's not for everyone.
She wears a brace for her foot drop now, and says, it really helps.

This is old news. The WalkAid and the Bioness have been out for a couple of years. Still haven't heard of Insurance paying for it yet though.
