I have a rare neurological condition Hereditary Spastic Paresis which causes muscle stiffness, balance issues and consequently mobility problems.I have used walking poles for the last couple of years but when i walk i no longer enjoy my surroundings as i am so busy looking at the ground and concentrating so i don't fall.I thought long and hard about buying a walker as it felt like giving in but i was equally fed up of hanging off my husband or treating a walk like a battle to stay upright rather than an enjoyable experience.After much research i came across the veloped and ordered it in July. I can honestly say it has changed my life, i am learning to enjoy my walks and not stare at the ground constantly. I am getting used to steering it, i prefer 2 wheels down as it feels more stable and there is a definite knack to turning it in that mode, but the more i use it the better i get.I am now walking everyday and on the 8th Oct i start a 100 mile walking challenge to be completed in 4 weeks for MND research. I need to walk 3.2 miles every day over that period to reach my target which will be hard, i would never have considered this without my veloped.I seriously cannot recommend the veloped enough, I've got all the gadgets for it and love it..It has definitely been a big investment but worth every penny, life changing in such a good way.
