I wanted to forewarn everyone...if you are squeamish about seeing others off meds; don't watch
If you can get past that, you will meet Max who channeled his frustration into something really wonderful for anyone who has issues with walking. I am sharing this in hope that he gets more recognition and funding. It also unintentionally conveys how horrible it is to be trapped inside your own body

Hidden in reply to gran5- 12 years ago I stated 'similar' ... I should have stated 'Max's much improved model'. My bad. Sorry for not being more concise.

In a quick attempt (my dog needs to go out) could not find him. When I come in and after Breakfast i"m going to settle down and find Max. Anyone want to join me?

Bravo!!! Although I'm not there yet, I would love to have a Country Flyer so I can be out and about when I need it. Thank you Max!!

I so agree, this is a fantastic device, and I hope that Max can find a way to get it to a public who quite clearly would like to be able to buy one.

That is something my husband needs. Please keep us posted for when it becomes available.

Thanks for posting this. I'm mostly in a wheelchair now. This really gives me hope.

What a great idea. Now put pedals on it so you can ride a bicycle and get exercise at the same time.
