Peripheral sensory neuropathy - Anyone tried Walkasins?

It would be nice to know what these cost both in Canada and the US. I am a Canadian and sometimes these things can be out of a persons price range. Because this is new, I know my insurance would not cover it. It is interesting, however, to know that there is work being done out there to help those of us suffering from this debilitating illness!

Cost is 6,000$. Check with the VA, they have the Walkasinis available. Good Luck!

From what I’ve read insurance does not cover this at all. What amazes me is that there’s only one company that makes a device like this in the US not even sure there’s one in Canada. Since there are 20 million people suffering from this illness why hasn’t anybody else developed this technology to help the masses. This technology should be made available to all prosthetic companies everywhere. And prescribed by their neurologist. I understand that this device might need to be adjusted to benefit the individual but no one should have to drive long distances in order to receive this medical miracle. It is already difficult for those of us suffering from this illness to travel. If this device improves my quality of life, then I will pay whatever it is to get it.
