 Post subject: Folding Mobility Scooters
PostPosted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 11:02 am 
Although I am lucky enough to still be able to walk with a walker or a cane, I find that my activities are becoming more limited. I need a scooter to walk longer distances. I want to get a folding scooter that I could put in my car. The Luggie is the one I hear about most but it's expensive. The Lexus Light is a little cheaper but how do they compare? Does anyone have ...

I have searchd and have not found anything on this topic, so I thought that I would give my thoughts on the subject.

First of all don't be afraid to use one. I would follow a few helpfull hints that I can share. If you are able try and keep yourself out of a motorized chair. The proverb " use it or loose it" aplies here. If you can still use your upper body use ...

 Post subject: Beds?!?!
PostPosted: Tue May 22, 2012 5:31 pm 
I was wondering what bed you prefer to sleep on? My family member sleeps on a regular queen but I had suggested that she try one of the movable beds so that she can sit up and also raise her legs if needed while she was in bed. I was also thinking that it would help her to be able to get in and out of bed easier. Thanks for your time.

Has anyone had experience with Oral Systemic Balance? It's a patented oral orthotic developed by a dentist in Tacoma Washington that, according to some anecdotes, has been effective in treating MS symptoms.

 Post subject: Bioness L300 for sale
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:17 pm 
I have a Bioness L300 for sale. I purchased it from the Bioness company, and it works fine. I fell on my left knee last June (2011), my orthopedist told me the severity of my injuries will likely prevent me from using an electronic knee or leg stimulation device in the future. I was not using the Bioness when I fell. Write me at dfbenn@comcast.net and we will talk. This ...

PostPosted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 8:08 pm 
Hello everyone,
We are working on a device that will help people with balance issues avoid falls. This device will be a vest that you can wear under your clothes without anyone noticing and it will push you back to your center when you're about to fall. It will be a replacement for canes and walkers and even wheelchairs if you're strong enough to walk.
Will you be interested in something like this? Do you ...

 Post subject: Vecttor/Dr. Rhodes?
PostPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:04 am 
Has anyone heard of the "Vecttor" therapy developed by Dr. Donald Rhodes in Corpus Christi? I just stumbled across his youtube videos and all of the videos say to visit his site, 2stim.com for more information but there isn't any. There is just information about it taking approximately 15 days worth of visits to his clinic and the tests that they do. It also talks about it having started the FDA trials but it doesn't ...

PostPosted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 3:02 pm 
I came across this website http://www.ranjam.net/ because of its come-on line: Designed by Boomers for Boomers! The most unique walking cane ever made!
The RANjAM SOLUTION: Designed by a physical therapist, the 'FLEX-STICK' uses physics and basic geometry to enhance the stability throughout the normal gait cycle - three (3) points 'define a plane' which is why a three legged stool always feels more stable than a four legged ...
