Back in March, Argo Medical Technologies Inc., announced the development of their ReWalk Exoskeleton, a light-weight, brace-like suit for people whose legs have been paralyzed. The Exoskeleton fits the body snugly and detects various upper body movements, which allow the wearer to start or stop the walking process.
Featuring integrated DC motors at the joints, rechargeable batteries, and an extensive series of sensors linked to a computer control system, we are indeed looking at the future mobility for those who have been unable to recovery from serious injury.
A US trial for the ReWalk is scheduled to begin in November at the Moss Rehabilitation Center in Philadelphia, after which Argo will apply for FDA regulatory approval.
