They Shall Walk was founded by Monty K Reed in 1986 specifically to build the LIFESUIT robotic exoskeleton that would give him his life back. After designing the system Monty experienced a miraculous healing and was able to walk again. He still suffers daily with pain and partial paralysis that comes and goes even after two decades of rehabilitation.

The next step in the Gift of Walking timeline is the Rehabilitation model of the LIFESUIT called the RehabSUIT for the CMC in Vellore India. Paralyzed people will use the RehabSUIT (AKA (also known as) LIFSEUIT prototype number sixteen) to stand, walk and exercise. Microsoft has just sponsored in with $1.2 million in software towards the $14 million institute facility in Seattle (AKA the “North Lab”).
To help fund the institute, a for profit company has been formed to manufacturer and distribute the RehabSUIT to the first 100 sites around the globe. Twenty percent of the investments into the for profit company will support the continues research at the institute.
Exoskeletons are now being tested in hospitals with favorable results and the next step is to start delivering them full scale so that everyone has a choice to walk.

- RehabSUIT
In the future paralyzed people will have a LIFESUIT for use at home and in the office. For instance the LIFESUIT LS14 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™ LS15 can stand and balance unmanned, 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 or “Fuel Pods© ™” and lightweight power paks. 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.
