Helius Medical is partnering with Lovell® to help Veterans living with MS get access to the innovative Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS). PoNS is a nonsurgical device that, when paired with physical rehabilitation therapy, improves the walking ability for those with MS.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimates that
55,000–70,000 Veterans live with MS
in the United States
There has been an
~86% increase in MS cases among Veterans
in the last 15 years, according to the Veterans Affairs Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence
PoNS is proud to help Veterans with MS Get Back In Step With Life.
When I was first diagnosed with MS I was scared. I was concerned and unsure of my physical and mental well-being, and the impact it would have on my family and friends. I did a lot of soul searching and decided that I was going to fight this disease as best I could.”
—Katherine Owings, West Point Graduate, United States Veteran
I was told by my neurologist that I had developed secondary progressive MS… I was and am still afraid of the future. I like very much what my nurse practitioner at the AMC in Washington, DC once said to me, 'Do not let this disease become you.' … [Each person with MS] must do their very best to avoid letting this occur… acknowledge the anger and seek help to deal with it.”
—Alex Campbell, United States Veteran
After living with MS since 1999, gait difficulties took away my most valued treasure: quality adventures with my 13-year-old daughter. My focused PoNS Therapy helped me improve my walking, and as a result… I experienced freedoms such as increased walking speed, endurance, and distance. As a reward for her support and motivation, Rogue and I will vacation in New York City to walk the streets of Manhattan and enjoy our favorite Broadway musicals! Thank you for the experiences I thought were lost forever.”
—Kevin Byrne, US Veteran and PoNS-user
