There’s hope for paraplegics to walk again thanks to Amit Goffer, founder of Argo Medical Technologies, a high-tech company based in Israel.  Goffer and his team have developed a human exoskeleton with an uncanny ability to help paralyzed individuals walk again.

Controlled by a remote control on a wrist band and a whole whack of technology, this suit allows a whole range of motions while standing up.  Crutches are required to help balance the user during operation.

I hope this project develops into a mirrored reality as commonly seen in Science Fiction lore, where users can recapture their ability to walk thanks to some exotic peice of technology.

A truly inspiring project if you ask me.
