A couple of day’s ago I received a call from an old university friend.  Now Frank’s wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a few years back and so far has been doing fine.  However she recently had a relapse and her difficulties with mobility have become very acute.

Frank called while he was on his way to fire a wheelchair for his wife.  As he explained this was a big but hopefully temporary step.

The conversation turned, as you would expect, to various different mobility aids.  Indeed Frank and his wife had looked at orthotics and leg braces but had come to the conclusion that at the present time not even canes or walkers could meet their needs.

So we were both wondering what mobility aid other people in the multiple sclerosis community use and why?

It would be great if you could share your experience both in the poll below but also please feel free to use the comments box to tell us a bit more about your use of mobility aids.

Thanks very much in advance.
