We have featured ReWalk system before but the concept is now a reality as the video below shows, the system is made and designed in Israel by Argo Medical Technologies.

ReWalk™ is a new realisation of the powered exoskeleton concept and provides user-initiated mobility; it consists of a light wearable brace support suit, which integrates actuation motors at the joints, an array of motion sensors, a computer system based on sophisticated control and safety algorithms and tailored rechargeable batteries.

ReWalk™ enables people with lower limb disabilities such as Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and Spina Bifida to carry out routine ambulatory functions.

ReWalk™ restores a person’s mobility functions, thus improving both quality of life and physical health. ReWalk™ promises to dramatically reduce the need for physical therapy and re-hospitalization that occur due to immobility-related complications in individuals with severe walking impairments.
