Patient Testimonial 

Karl began his battle with MS almost 20 years ago. The progressive nature of his disease left him reliant upon bracing devices, AFO’s, to assist with his everyday walking. While through the years he was able to find better AFO’s that helped him walk without tripping, he describes muscle atrophy and day to day struggles with walking. His wife relates the “pins and needles” feeling of worry any time her husband left her side.

MS is a devastating disease; progressively taking independence from its victims. In an effort to add life to his years, Karl tried the WalkAide. As is often the case with MS victims Karl responded well to WalkAide’s electrical stimulation. His clinician describes improvement not only in terms of seeing Karl walk without his AFO but also in relation to his overall walking pattern. His knee and hip, previously unstable as they compensated for Karl's AFO, are now free to function as they should.

As you will hear in his voice, Karl is confident now; excited about feeling the independence that the WalkAide has brought to him. His wife, Susan, is similarly both excited and relieved – telling us that Karl now walks further with less effort and is not so completely reliant upon her assistance.

Improving the quality of life – this is our primary goal. Independence, one step at a time.

Here's what Karl said about his experiences with the WalkAide:

"(WalkAide) works phenomenally...it has improved the quality of my life exponentially"

"I can actually wear regular shoes now…before I had one pair of shoes because it would fit around my AFO."
