+ OMG A Robotic Suit?
Robotic Suit Helps the Paralyzed Walk
There's a new invention of a robotic suit called ReWalk (get it? so they could walk again.). It acts as an exoskeleten and it very light. The suit includes a backpack that holds a control box which helps the medical device so that it would know when to take a step.
Now, when paralyzed people wear the suit, they will be able to walk, sit, bend, and even climbing up the stairs when necessary. So instead of using a wheelchair, paralyzed people can use the ReWalk and be able to go anywhere as if they weren't paralyzed at all.
