"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.
