Has Anyone Heard Of The U Step Walker It Is Suposed To Help With Balance ?
I'm not sure where my sister got one for her husband. My sister lives in Michigan, I live in Minnesota. I called her this morning but have not received a call back yet. I will ask her where she got one from. Her husband is a veteran and served in Vietnam so they are getting 100% benefits which is pretty amazing. They just had a ramp installed at their house and they are going to get a handicap bathroom remodel, etc . Glad the government is doing something for our veterans.
Yes,my brother in law has PD and he has a U step walker. It rotates so when you need to sit down, it makes it easier than a regular walker. If your neurologist prescribes it for you, it may cost you nothing depending on your insurance.
Yes Kathy my Dr did prescribe it for me but having a not so good time trying to find o.ne.
Sounds interesting thank you so much for the information
My sister told me that whatever benefits they recieve, she would receive 50% if her husband passes before her. We did a handicap remodel a few years ago. My husband graduated from West Point and was a captain. He served for five years in Germany. He only recieves 10% for hearing issues due to his specialty in tanks and the gunfire from those tanks,ie. hearing problems. We got a one time $2,000 amount to modify the home to be handicap safe. We chose the bathroom instead of a ramp or other safety items. We made sure that we put in a zero entry shower which is 5' x 36" wide. It is flush with bathroom floor so there is no threshold to step over or take a wheelchair over. No glass doors, just a curtain rod with curtains.
