Walking tall

Argo Medical Technologies based in Israel have come up with an invention that could, if developed, be a great boon for people like myself with mobility issues. The ReWalk  is essentially an exoskeleton designed to aid people with walking and climbing stairs. Developed as a type of vertical wheelchair that would replace a whole slew of assistance devices and allow a much better quality of life for those people confined to regular wheelchairs or with significant muscular deterioration - like me, for instance. I will be watching developments in the commercial release and testing of these clever devices. In fact, I have already written to the company for updated information. With the rising number of older and potentially disabled citizens in our society, the need for such devices becomes more and more apparent.
