My Cionic Neural Sleeve Review

I bought a Cionic Neural Sleeve last December. Absolutely love it. I just published a box opening and review video on YouTube. If you are interested the link is…..

Very informative video, irhunter , and you’re a natural! Thank you for educating me on this sleeve.

Thank you! For those of us still walking but with issues, this is great! I was without mine for 3 weeks and I really noticed my decline. I have had it back for just two days and I’m already back up to 3+ miles a day.

Very informative! Thanks for sharing!

Great video. I like mine BUT it's not working that well with my current lifestyle. I do aerobics @ 6am and I'm too sleepy to put on. I put the sleeve on before I take my morning walk and it does reduce fatigue. Then I putter around the house (the sleeve helps with balance but not really necessary). Then I do weight lifting. Not needed. Then on computer and eat lunch. Not needed, Then I do my rehab exercises and not supposed to use. Then more computer stuff or cooking. Not needed. Maybe go for 2nd walk. Helps a little. Then remove. It takes about 15 minutes to don and remove the sleeve. I am reassessing whether the cost is worth it for me. BTW, I was told by Cionic Mobility Specialist: do not use during or when recovering from a relapse. Can make worse. Definitely decide if the sleeve will work with your lifestyle. Just my experience.

Oh I wish that I could do all of that! I agree with you, it’s not the end all, be all device. I do enjoy dealing with Cionic as opposed to other older e-stim devices. It’s lambing season right now. All day seems to be down on my knees and then back to my feet with lots of steps between. The sleeve works great! I broke my Saebo and my AFO is painful doing that. The best device for long car rides (6 hrs round trip to Spokane) is the Saebo. It’s easy to loosen then tighten when needed. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely agree! Cionic customer service and mobility specialist are 👍👍👍

Information was what I was seeking about this sleeve. Thanks for the link. It is a device I want to try.

I hope it works for you!

Hi! Loved the video! I had heard of them, but wasn't sure what it was. I read your below comment that you are up to 3+ miles a day with it?! That is awesome! I subscribed so I can see your next video on it, can't wait to see it. I am sending your video to my hubby to watch as well, he is the researcher, lol, and will help me see if it is something I should ask my neuro about. Does the sleeve help with the muscle weakness? Thank you so much for sharing! 🧡

Btw, my Aunt and Uncle were ranchers out in NM, you do a lot of hard work! Kudos!!

[irhunter in reply to MSFlea]

Thank You! Without the sleeve I ‘nerf’ (nerve fiber fatigue) out at around 6 minutes on stationary bike to 10 minutes using the sleeve. Same with stairclimber… 3 minutes without and 6 minutes with the sleeve. That’s the cardio I’m missing! I have extreme heat sensitivity and I notice going longer before it saps my strength. Unfortunately, it’s not waterproof… my summer routine when harvesting is cooling vests and regular stops at irrigation to saturate my clothes. I suggested that to Cionic and a more robust control unit/sleeve might come in the future.

thanks for sharing. I’ve been sitting on a script for almost a year. Neuro was skeptical & made me doubt getting it. My right leg is also my obstacle & lately it’s been feeling worse. Maybe reconsider before summer (heat is my nemesis as well).

Will you be doing a video showing you actually using it versus not using it?

[irhunter in reply to Goldilockssearching]

Thanks. I was thinking about it in the snow to show the foot drag, but never got around to it. I’ll be plowing a field next week and might try it there.

Thank you

Oh wow, thanks for the video. I want one so badly, but the annual price keeps discouraging me! I noticed you stood at your table during the demonstration without hanging on to the table for balance. (like I do). Kudos for being a natural in front of a camera!

[irhunter]

Thank You! Hopefully Medical Insurances will start allowing it. I have a request in for mine. Yes, I got lucky with the balance, it was a good day. Conversely, the outside shots were all leaning against the tractor. Sad that I have 5 yrs of YT videos in which the progression is obvious but still missed by many doctors!

[CatsandCars]

Very interesting! Kudos to you for staying so active. I wish you the best.
