I found it helped me walk faster but not any better. (I'm a left foot-drop MSer.)
Another MS friend told me when she came off it she was worse than before starting it but eventually got back to here pre-Ampyra gait.
What's your experience?

The Hanger facility I just visited said
no insurance coverage for the WalkAide.
If I purchase one (I have Medicare primary, Aetna secondary) do I prod them to use the code you mentioned or get the WalkAide company involved?
