The result: I am closer to my true height (that leg, without support, is almost 2 inches shorter than the other one, because the foot is folded under,,, possibly due to Charcot foot; we're not certain) and I'm a lot more able to stand upright (though I still need a walker). The device cures... nothing. And the foot still hurts. But it's worth the price just to be able to walk upright.
