Anyone use a Bioness device for foot drop?

Posted by sandy8043 @sandy8043, 4 days ago

Anyone have experience using a Bioness device for footdrop? My left leg wants to know. We are apparently no longer on speaking terms. She has a mind other own and enjoys making me fall flat on my face in public. Neuro recommend but PT has no experience with it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Support Group.

@sandy8043 - your post cracked me up, I have to say. It's a great thing that despite the foot drop you are facing, which I assume is due to multiple sclerosis, you still have your sense of humor fully intact.

I'd like to tag some Mayo Clinic Connect members from different support groups around the community to chime in and share any experiences they may have with foot drop and/or with the Bioness or similar tech for foot drop and improved walking. Please meet, if you've not already, @chrisspiz @frenchie218 @jhill022757 @rob39 @alh123 @domiha @cekkk @robertsmithboca.

sandy8043 - have you had any minor or major injuries from your falls related to your foot drop?

I would also like to hear about this, I have foot drop in both feet. I use 2 AFOs and either a cane or walker. I feel like the braces are further weakening my ankles and other parts of my feet. Any suggestions or comments would be great.

I’ve never had a problem with foot drop on my journey . Not sure why I was
tagged. Many years ago one of my many Spinal Cord stimulators may have
been a Bioness. .

@lisalucier Mostly skinned knees and elbows. A bruised ego takes longer to heal. 😂
