This is for all of you SCI Survivors!

Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital is testing robotic legs on SCI survivors! And, so far so good!

The E-leg wraps around the leg and uses motion censors to push the body forward and put legs into motion. The Boston Channel reports that Annie Hayes, who has been paralyzed from the waist down for 6 years, is now walking! I think this is a story you have to see for yourself. Check out the video below of a man using the E-leg.
