The ReWalk could help some of the five million wheelchair users worldwide plagued by lost bone mass and decreased blood flow by allowing them to walk, even up and down stairs. The first exoskeleton designed for people with severe walking impairments, its backpack computer monitors user movements and sends signals to the joints, where motors stand in for muscle. $40,000

Hands off to the founder of Agro Med Tech. I feel that the ReWalk is a wonderful gift for the wheelchair users. Eventhough it seems to be a bit expensive product it will help the wheel chair users to move anywhere even up and down stairs without the help of others. It seems to be an excellent exoskeleton design for people with severe walking impairments.
ReWalk is wonderful medical technology, so cool!
Exciting to see this tech coming out. We are not made to sit all day and the health effects are very costly to our life span. Keep up the good work ReWalk!
GOD BLESS MEDICAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERS!
NICE!
Still waiting for exoskeletons that turns normal dudes into cyberninjas.
This is awesome! Anything that helps disabled people is just great! They have to live with severe handicaps for the rest of their lives, and humanity owes as much back to them as possible to make their lives more pleasant. This is one invention to do just that and a dang good one too!
