Who will volunteer to try this? I would, if only I didn't have to pay for it. Think it could be reimbursable or at least a tax deduction?

Amazing!

I have not been able to find out how much this chair is! But I do think one's neuro would be willing to write a script for it, and then you could get a tax deduct for it. Heck, if folks are able to write off their swimming pools, surely we could get a tax break for this (heaven knows, we wouldn't buy one of these if it weren't for PD!!)

.................. $4,999.95! It is on the web site of the store mentioned in the article.

...or smells like a duck, hang on to your wallet.

However, that doesn't mean it is a bad idea. Found an interesting pdf at http://www.tlu.ee/files/arts/1186/ol...d0c2e58365.pdf

Also there are a range of "gaming chairs" that might be worth a google.

We have seen the beneficial effects of vibration before. I have not looked for the threads, but I looked at Power Plant I think it was called.
This is a machine that stretches and contracts all the muscles in the body when you stand on the platform.
There does seem to be something in the healing properties of vibration and massage.

Lee Bender has a website but I haven't found his mention of the chair yet.

RD42,
We are getting mixed here between the electrical and vibrational stimulation. This thread started with the vibrational or massage stimulation, raised by Lurking, and I posted the details of the chair above, as used by Lee Bender.

The reference you quote
http://nexneuro.com/blog/?p=879
is another report on the invasive operation by Duke University to attach electric leads to the spine. This was the work that gave Rick the idea to try external electric stimulation of the spine in the thread
"Electrostimulation of the spine seems to work."
Paula drew attention to the Duke electrical work in her post,

on 27th March.
Hope this helps.
