That is quite amazing. It just shocks me how far prosthetics and things of this nature have come in the last 10 years. My uncle has diabetes and has lost both legs, his new prosthetics are simply a work of art and allow him a much more normal life. If only he could see better........

i'd like them in black please

I came accross this one when I first got injured. I don't know where to get one or if it's even available. Stephen Davies' lab in Colorado, Wise Young's network in China, and Hans Keirstead's team at the Reeve-Irvine Research Center are all moving toward strong therapies for chronic SCI so there is also hope that SCI can be fixed without a robotic suit.

I've seen a movie of a 'supersuit' which made you stronger and faster. it was powered by a gas engine, and weighted quite a bit, but with the motor running, you didn't experience any weight.. :)

Meh...
