The Neuropathy Recovery Program by Dr. Randall C. Labrum free download (PDF files & Videos). Recently a friend took me to visit a lady who has just acquired a ‘Travel Scoot’ electric scooter, because of bad neuropathy in both feet. She kindly let me take it for a test drive in the school playground behind her house – fortunately school was out for the summer! She was most helpful in explaining all the bells and whistles that come with it. She even showed us how it comes apart for packing to go aboard a plane or train – hence the name – as well as how to load it into the back of their van. The test drive was fun! It can go quite fast and can turn almost on a dime. It doesn’t take long to get the hang of it and I was quite impressed with its speed and responsiveness. It has a useful detachable wire basket on the front to hold handbag and shopping. However, it is not portable for me – I tried a couple of times loading the base frame with wheels into their van, but it was not safe. My bionic leg can support my weight when I’m just standing, but not if I’m trying to bend and lift something like that at the same time, no matter how light. On the one hand, it may be easier on my van, where I could brace myself against the back door like I do when loading and unloading the rollator. On the other hand, the back of my van is about 4 inches higher than theirs.
