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 ----- Original Message ----- From: jrushton To: tmic Sent: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 12:34 PM 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. Jeanne in Dayton, WA No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
