Hi!! Yes, this new-on-the-market device is starting to be a much-needed assistance for my wonky legs. I love my walking sticks and cane - balance is off because my left leg is worse (old nerve compression at L5, not from the neuropathy - they just joined forces, har!), with foot drop. The exoskeleton actually allows me to walk (still carefully) without my cane or walking sticks. The assistance to my legs helps, and the whole system makes me somehow more 'sturdy' and my balance is better. I have stairs in my house and it is quite wonderful for those... There is a Facebook group that shares, answers questions and shows videos using this. It is 'Hypershell disability users' - worth looking at! I got the Pro/ $1200 with extra batteries, although they last a reasonable time on the settings I use. I spent quite a bit of time in the garden this year, and could not have traversed the area so many times without it - carrying tools, plants, etc. Awful disease this neuropathy!

Hello Loria2,
Thank you so much for this information.: I'll look into the data. I wish you well in your endeavors and I also spend as much time outside as possible
Just keep moving; the alternative is not acceptable
