This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hello All!

I'm trying to compile a list of all the devices that people w/MS are finding useful for mobility, daily living, exercise, etc.

This started as an attempt to figure out if an electrical stimulation device might be good for exercising legs and/or mobility, but then I started seeing pulsed magnetic therapy devices marketed at people w/MS.

Is anyone having success with FES/electrical stimulation devices? If so, which ones, and what kind of results. Ditto for pulsed magnetic devices.

What else is out there that people find useful???

Please post your suggestions!!

Thanks,
-- Paul

You may want to take a look at Dr. Allen Bowling's book Alternative Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis. The book was written in 2001 so it's not likely up-to-date, but I believe that it does have a section which discusses pulsed magnetic therapy. I should note that I don't have any personal experience with either of the therapies you mentioned.
