A revolutionary new bionic walking device, that has been shown in the UK for the first time, is set to change the lives of many wheelchair users who may have given up hope of ever walking again.


The ReWalk exoskeleton is the first commercially available upright walking technology that enables individuals with lower limb paralysis - such as spinal cord injury and Spina Bifida - to stand, walk and even climb stairs.

The mechanism has been developed by specialists in the field of rehabilitation devices in Israel.

ReWalk is a light wearable brace support suit with a sophisticated computer system that restores a person's mobility functions, thus improving both quality of life and physical health.

The technology comprises motors at the joints, an array of motion sensors, a computer system based on sophisticated control and safety algorithms and tailored rechargeable batteries.

The manufacturer Cyclone says the device is totally interactive and the user has command of all mobility functions through unique control processes.
