I can see your point. It’s impressive technology and I can see its value, especially as a therapeutic tool. I like the exercise bike mode. I also experienced a little residual function after removing the unit. If it was available to use I’d use it for that. I think for day to day use, I’d need more experience using it than the one hour fitting/trial provided. I also would like to test it on uneven ground, as that’s my bane. Thank you for your reply.

I hadn't heard of the cionic sleeve. Looks interesting. The website has info for providers on how to order. I just sent a message to my neuro with a link to the provider page to see if my insurance will cover it.Thanks for the info. I had been thinking about asking for Bioness but hope I can get this instead.

If it works well I guess it is worth $2400. I should have that in my HSA account. 🤞my insurance covers though

Dear Miss Rash, if you get it, please share your experience. I got put on a waiting list about 6 months ago and never heard back. what's your estimated time of getting it? are you going out to San Francisco to try it?

Sandy, I’ve been waiting a year! I’m pre-registered, they have my first $200 and I’m all set but they are waiting to get licensed in Fla. 🤷‍♀️
