You will see full scale powered robotic suits that allow paralyzed people to walk.  The original early prototypes as well as the current machines under development for use in hospitals.  You will find out how this all got started with a science fiction novel that inspired Monty K Reed, the inventor of the rehabilitation exoskeleton.   You will see what has been done by other companies with the pioneering work of the ‘They Shall Walk lab crew’ and you will see what the future has for paralyzed people everywhere.
