WalkAide Questions
Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2015 9:22 am
I just got my WalkAide to rent for one month before purchasing it. I found this forum to be very useful because I have so many questions. It worked perfectly when I first tried it, but now I am having lots of problems getting it back to that perfection. I've read here that fatigue, swelled legs, change of gait - all those things can mess with how it works. Right now I'm getting good stimulation but my foot is jutting out a bit to the right and I don't feel safe without using my cane.
Also, has anyone used it at the same time as:
1) wearing an AFO brace
2) taking Ampyra
3) wearing a weighted vest
I have all 3 listed above and don't know whether using a combination is counterproductive or not. My orthotist doesn't seem to know.
Thanks for all your feedback and help.
