Patient Testimonial 

Anne suffered a traumatic brain injury ten years ago when she was hit by a car while riding her bicycle. When her friends found her, she had no vital signs and needed CPR to simply survive. She was flown by helicopter to a local hospital where she remained for six months, initially in a coma.

Facing partial paralysis on the left side of her body, Anne fought what she terms a "continual battle" with everyday walking. Getting in and out of the car, going into the grocery store and especially any time she entered a crowd, she had to think about how to position her foot or she would fall.

Since she has been using the WalkAide, she has found much more mobility and a return towards the way of life she had before her unfortunate accident. As you will hear in her interview, Anne again feels excitement and hope.

Here's what Anne said about her experiences with the WalkAide:

"I can cover twice the ground in less time and it feels good and normal"

"I was concerned about the care of the WalkAide, but I have found it?s been very easy"

"One thing that the WalkAide has done for me that makes me feel really good and has affected my quality of life is just getting around in crowded areas with a lot of people"

"I can feel the stim going through the muscles and I think 'good, those muscles are working and regenerating, I hope, and building up in strength and endurance'"
