ReWalk Robotic Exoskeleton Gives Paraplegics the Ability to Walk
The ReWalk incorporates belted crutches for balance, motorized leg supports, body sensors and a backpack containing a computerized control box and rechargeable batteries. The user is given complete control of the system with a remote control wristband, which enables them to stand, sit, walk, descend, and climb. The various settings are activated by simply leaning forward, which signals body sensors that set the robotic legs in motion. Based on trials, including tests with spinal injury patients in Italy, it takes a user about 10 hours to be completely trained on the system
