I have had MS for (officially) 12 years -- unofficially approximately 29. Anyway, my balance, leg strength and foot drop on the right is worsening, so started PT again this week. The therapist introduced me to an assistive device to counteract my foot drop (Bioness Brand). It seems very helpful, but I want to hear from those of you that have one, or have used one, to get the real scoop on it! Does the electrode stim become less effective over time? Does it become uncomfortable/annoying after a while? Did you pay for it or did insurance cover some of it?
So far my experience with it is minimal but I'm impressed that it helps me walk more fluidly. Any feedback you can provide would be much appreciated!
