Wheelchair No More? Video of bionic legs’ first steps at launch in NZ
A New Zealand company has invented a unique pair of bionic legs that is allowing a paraplegic to walk again, New Zealand television reported. The design is known as Rex, an abbreviation for ‘robotic exoskeleton’, and has been unveiled with the help of a test pilot Hayden Allen, paralysed from the chest down following a motorcycle accident five years ago. The first pair sold is expected to go for around 150000 US dollars, about the same price as 20 standard wheelchairs.
