Exoskeleton for Paraplegics

This is impressive: a company in Israel is currently conducting clinical trials of a powered exoskeleton which enables a person with paralyzed legs to stand, sit, walk, ascend/descend stairs, etc. Part of the cleverness of the design is its relative simplicity: It doesn’t try to do all of the balancing for the wearer; the wearer uses regular crutches for balance. There’s a short article with a video here with links to a longer article and the company’s website.
