Horse Inspired Brace for MS Patients

[Marco]

Horse brace for humans with MS? Neigh? YES!!!

SEATTLE - Horses inspired a device, that's helping people walk again, thanks to a small business in Fremont.

A few months ago, Forrest Schall didn't dare take a walk down his own block.

"I can't... Walk on the street, because I'd wander. I would go into traffic,” said Schall.
Forrest has multiple sclerosis - impacting his balance and gait.

Interesting. I feel that my tendons are to blame for my gait problems, but stretching does not seem to help much. It feels as if they are too tight (like too short?) to walk properly. And that they may be part of the problems I have with getting my feet to respond as I want them to (turning from side to side, lifting or dropping toes).

Thanks for posting this, Marco. I believe I'll check into it further. I'llbe interested to see what the price is.
