Jeanne,
Glad to hear that you are going to give it a try. I went last Tues and had the
test to try it out. The Orthotist was quite excited that he found the nerve
and could make it work for me and get my toes to life the way they should if
you are a good candidate for it. He said I am an excellent candidate. It is
approx. $4500. here too. However right now the Alberta Govt is willing to
start a 3 year Clinical Trial and I am going to be in on it. I just have to
wait now to hear from the fellow as to when it is to start. He figures it will
be one day this week.
Good Luck
Heather in Calgary

Subject: [TMIC] WalkAid - Foot drop
I just wanted you all to know that I've got an appointment next Tuesday
to try the WalkAid (for foot drop) that one of you brought up. I sent for the
info and they have a really good DVD to watch and got Jack and I pretty
excited...enough that we did make an appt to see if it would work for me.
They said they would know in just a few minutes whether it would work
or not. They do not charge for the first visit since it's so expensive ($4707)
and "Medicare nor insurance covers it". I'll let you know how it works out.
We're not sure if we can do it financially but at least we can see if it works.
