Although I have used it and found no relief from it, everyone's disease is different and there are chances that it may work for others

My husband has one and has worn it daily for nearly 2 years. It definitely helps with walking, gait and slowness. Charco tech have been a very helpful and supportive company for him. Been dx for 9 years.

This is the Cue1 and I believe it is available in UK and other countries and is not available in the U.S. likely because of the fact it has not been authorized by the FDA

SOmetimes, there is just no other way I can find to think about the FDA than an intentional obstacle to the very goals it was designed to support.

[Boscoejean in reply to gomelgo]

Actually I think maybe that the Cue 1 inventors have probably not applied yet for that

[gomelgo in reply to Boscoejean]

Probably because the fda makes things quite difficult and expensive.

[Boscoejean in reply to gomelgo]

I have heard it mentioned that unless a company has an advocate with experience in the field it can be a little difficult getting an approval
