I endorse noting written about here, but Medicare has authoried the U-Step2 when a need is seen. I use these products personally. MS has caused a few problems. Balance and leg drop are the most obvious. I have used a walker for about 2 years. My balance does not work with a cane. I have use a walker that is a conventional "rollerator." It is OK, but not substantial and needs weekly replacement of tennis balls. I have not noticed it has not given the support i have needed in an emergency. I went to the near and was asked to do the timed walk and she had me walk with a U-Step. I moved with it and found it much more substantial than the rollerator. I have avoided a fall by twisting into the seat. http://www.ustep.com/walker.htm I have used the walker for a few weeks and find it excellent. I have not traveled with U-Step yet as it is heaver than the rollerator. Leg Drop continues to be a bitch. I have heard my right foot crack numerous times daily. I have tried AFOs and other options. I introduce you to the step smart.http://www.swedeo.com/step_smart.htm I have not gotten this product yet but it offers great opportunity for fixing my problem of foot drop. Lets see if this works. I found the smart step on ccsvilocator.com. If the start step works, great. If not, I have already worked out the return. A video oI found after I had ordered the step smart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NPXYo2Kl6s
