elizillaToday was my twice-annual neuro appointment. I wore the exoskeleton and it was a huge hit. Extra medical people came out of neighboring rooms to see it. My neurologist tried it herself and one of the others videoed her.
One of the tests they do every time, is to time me as I walk a short distance that is measured out by some tape marks on the wall. My time is usually about 15 seconds, but with the exoskeleton it was 10 seconds. My improved posture was noted, as was the increase in danger from the dragging left foot. She gave me a referral to Orthotics and told me to wear the exoskeleton to that appointment as well.
She said she is already making a mental list of which of her other patients would benefit.
