Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory disease in the central nervous system. According to date, it affects more than 2 million people worldwide, including over 500,000 in North America. It is punctuated by fully or partially reversible episodes of neurologic disability, typically lasting days or weeks. Typical symptoms at presentation include but are not limited to:

1. Monocular visual loss due to optic neuritis
2. Limb weakness or sensory loss due to transverse myelitis
3. Double vision due to brain-stem dysfunction
4. Lack of voluntary coordination of muscle movements including gait abnormality due to a cerebella lesion.

After typically 10 to 20 years, a progressive clinical course develops in many of the persons affected, eventually leading to impaired mobility and cognition. Approximately 15% of patients have a progressive course from onset.

More than a dozen or so medications are currently made available to reduce the frequency of transient episodes of neurological disability, yet as of today, no medication fully prevents or reverses neurological deterioration in patients.

Although this conditions cannot yet be fully treated, a recent technological breakthrough has allowed patients with MS to achieve a remarkable improvement in their lifestyle and improve voluntary coordination of muscle movements. Without the KeegoTM device, patients had a difficult time moving their legs, had to stop when taking stairs from exhaustion, had a difficult time picking up objects from the floor, exerted strenuous effort, when getting up from a chair to walk down the hall. Same patients wearing a KeegoTM device were able to achieve healthy movement patterns during several clinical trials. These same patients were able to walk about quicker, had no trouble walking up or down the stairs, picked up objects from the floor with little effort, and were able to easily sit down, and get up from the seat without propping themselves up with their hands.

If you have been affected by Multiple Sclerosis, please see a specialist at the PRI clinic. This multi-disciplinary team is specifically trained to properly introduce your body to the KeegoTM device, which will allow your body to achieve a remarkable improvement in your lifestyle.
