Massachusetts based robotics company, ReWalk Robotics, was in the news in Florida recently as it provided its exoskeleton device to a Tallahassee woman, allowing the paraplegic to walk again.
Current ReWalk designs are intended for people with paraplegia, a spinal cord injury resulting in complete or incomplete paralysis of the legs. The system uses patented motion sensing technology along with battery-powered motorized legs powering knee and hip movement which is controlled by proprietary on-board computers and software.
