You thought the Segway was cool? One wheeled device!
You will be amazed if you haven't seen this thing yet!

Amazing! Just wish it had a back for some lumbar support, lol...I know, never satisfied
Really though, if it had a pull out that could give some back stability, I think I'd be in heaven having something like that!

I could use one of these when I travel. My greatest difficulty is walking, as well as standing for any length of time.

But I think I wouldn't be comfortable shifting my body forward and side to side. I wonder how it is going over bumps? Thanks Jim for the link.
Any answers I have is not medical advice only a Doctor can help you with that. Just sharing my personal experience as a fellow Spine Health member only. DDD of lumbar spine with sciatica to left hip,leg and foot. L4-L5 posterior disc bulge with prominent facets, L5-S1 prominent facets with a posterior osteocartilaginous bar. Mild bilateral foraminal narrowing Neck-reverse Lordosis of c-spine C6-C7 with impingement, numb hand and sore outer elbow. Keep the faith.
most of you would probably fall over and break your back/neck worse than it already is... lol
Does look cool though.
And why do they have 2 healthy looking young women riding these things? They can't walk 3-4mph on their own. It almost borders on how to be really lazy and avoid walking anywhere. As a handicap device it makes good sense if you can stay on it.
Awwww, come on Graham, we can hope right? (G)

Absolutely Brenda! I wasn't saying don't hope. Never give up hope, period. It just looks like you better have good balance in general to sit on it and get it to move about. The technology looks very cool and impressive.
Graham,
What struck me watching these things being demonstrated was how it moved around. I have a feeling that the lumbar wouldn't be too happy after a while, especially if you hurt more when you sit vs laying down or standing.
Hope? For sure, never give up on it!! Very good point indeed.
