Camptocormia (bent spine syndrome or BSS): Looking for others

Hi there,
I have this condition and find the only way to get about is with a pair of nordic walking poles: adjust to the correct height ; I also use a low frequency vibration plate and find this has helped over the past year. Leki and Black Diamond make good walking poles.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
The walking-pole idea would have been me a few years ago. I also used two "3rd foot canes" to pull myself quasi-upright for a while. Unfortunately this strained my wrists and hands, to the point where I had to have surgery on both hands earlier this year.
I'm now using a couple of rollators, one a U-step platform one (inside the house), and the other a byACRE Carbon Ultralight.
Or I just walk quite bent over.
Anyway, please tell me more about the low-frequency vibration plate. I haven't heard of this before.
Thanks!
