They Shall Walk

is a non-profit 501C3 medical research organization. It was founded to raise awareness of the plight of disabled persons and develop technology to improve their quality of life. Recognizing the need for better mobility beyond the wheelchair, They Shall Walk is developing an intelligent robotic powered brace called the LIFESUIT™ to allow paraplegics and elderly to freely walk again.

Currently, Prototype 14 weighs about 75 pounds and is powered by compressed air. It will allow the wearer walk up to about 2.5 miles per hour and to ascend and descend stairs. The next model, known as LIFESUIT™ 15 can stand and balance unmanned, soon it will be controlled in the same way as a powered wheelchair with a joystick.  Future generations of the LIFESUIT™ may incorporate a wet-suit style outfit composed of ‘biosynthetic muscle fibers’©, fuel cells and lightweight batteries for power.  It will be worn under the clothes and allow paralyzed to walk and no one will ever know they were paralyzed.

There are millions of disabled people that can benefit from the LIFESUIT™ including the SCI, elderly, veterans, people with sports injuries, accident victims, and people with congenital defects.

The government of India is considering funding part of the medical trial in Velloure at the CMC Medical School and Rotary is now a sponsor of the project. We need your support to complete the next two prototypes. Make a pledge today to support our work and help us give the gift of walking.

They Shall Walk is a National Heritage Foundation (NHF) 501C3 nonprofit.  Each donation means the disable dare one step closer to walking again. If you would like to help our cause you can click here to go to the donation page or click on the navigation bar on top.
