Robot Exoskeleton helps man walk after 20yrs in a wheelchair

"ReWalk™ is an alternative mobility solution to the wheelchair for individuals with severe walking impairments, enabling them to stand, walk, ascend/descent stairs and more. "

Present version costs $150,000 and has an 8 hour battery life. Yes, 8hrs.


"As of December 2010, the device is undergoing clinical trial testing at MossRehab in suburban Philadelphia.

The trials will continue for approximately a year."

"Prerequisites:

* Ability to use hands and shoulders (walking with crutches)
* Healthy cardiovascular system and bone density"


Errr.. that seems to be it for prerequisites.
