A few weeks ago we found videos by searching for "ms balance". Needless to say these videos had us excited and high-fiving at the chance that we would get Heather walking again.

At first we were skeptical. How could something which seems so simple really make such a great change? What would we have to lose?
If the vest works then it would be a tremendous aide to Heather's fight against Multiple Sclerosis. If not we keep progressing with what is already working.
Also, Heather's insurance would cover the BalanceWear assessment and the NMSS & MSF have grants which would help us pay for the device if it helps Heather improve.
So...Heather walked about five steps today without her walker!!!!! This was her initial fitting with the MT BalanceWear vest and the results were amazing considering that she has relied on her walker for the last four years!
We are so excited to see her progress and cannot wait to get her vest in about a month!
It is so great to see how confident Heather is and how well she was able to stand and balance even while closing her eyes!
More videos to come to include comparisons with/without the vest and after we get her custom manufactured vest. We had a long day with driving and the appointment (5:00AM to 7:00PM).
We are so excited to share more and help anyone who has questions!
Thanks for watching!
