Hello, I have been struggling with foot drop for a while now and have been using carbon fiber AFO's. but I keep breaking them ( because I run a lot in them) so I decided to try the Walkaide and the Bioness L300.
Well the walkaide didn't work for me but the Bioness L300 works well. I have it a one month trial.
Oh I forgot to mention my insurance will not pay for it!
I ran a 5k this past weekend and did well for me. I have another race this weekend. I am hoping to run the Boston Marathon this year( mobility impaired division) so I need something dependable. But I feel like the company is taking advantage. I realize that I am paying for the technology to develop the thing but I asked to purchase another cuff. Because when I run it gets very sweaty and after a good run and nice shower the last thing I want to do is put on a stinky sweaty cuff on my leg. Well they said usually $850 but they will sell me one for $600. Seriously $600 for a velcro closing cuff I am already paying for there technology on the first one. I think they should give it to me for close to cost. Really how much could it possible be?
I am thinking of giving the whole thing back at the end of my expensive months trial. I don't know if I want to deal with a company like that.
On a different note how awesome would it be for them to brag that they had some run the Boston marathon in there brace. Just my humble opinion.
Sorry about the long rant.
