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.

For all the people bashing this, it’s a good first step. The first prosthetic limbs were not so practical either, but now people can live without most people even noticing them.

Stem cells only work when a nerve needs to be repaired. If its a genetic problem stem cells are no good. I’d like one. But a faster one!
