Learning to walk again

       The ReWalk really does allow paraplegics to walk again         

I was totally blown away by watching the videos from Argo Medical Technologies for their amazing exoskeleton, the ReWalk.

This is advanced robotics for humans, transforming the user from a wheelchair-bound invalid into a bionic walker or even runner.

ReWalk has completed successful clinical trials in Israel and in Pennsylvania and has attracted considerable media interest and support from the community.


Sensors attached to the (non-paralysed) upper body detect the person's intention to move in a particular direction and translate this into motion controlled through the bionic joints in the legs.  Apparently it takes a bit of getting used to but once mastered the wearer can walk and run freely on the flat, up steps, over uneven terrain.

The ReWalk is now a commercial reality

Check out some of the videos at YouTube and be amazed.
