This is unveiled eLEGS, an exoskeleton for wheelchair users who are committed
to living life to its fullest. It powers you up to get you standing and
walking.

I
am a “spared quadriplegic” since 1961 at age 20. walked with a cane and
left leg brace. went to medical school, Jefferson” in Philadelphia,
then to Univ of Pittsburgh, Mercy Hospital for Internal Medicine
Residency Then to univ of minnesota for neurology residency. practiced
for over 25 yrs. then required many cerv spine and LS spine surgeries
as a result of many, many falls and subsequent injuries. Now am pretty
much confined to my cart.
What your team is accomplishing is more than an engineering miracle.
Your dedication to this project has almost a spiritual component
allowing the “lame to walk”.
Bravo to all who are involved.
Christine Kent says:
I’m very excited for you Amanda to be able to walk You look very happy to be taking a stroll outside!
Keep the positive energy flowing always. Great innovative
technology.I’m a T-12 Gunshot wound and was also run over with an SUV.
My hips now have an imbalance and I have a Pelvic tilt.I hope to be
able to walk again too, but I’m concerned about severe pain in my hips
from the movement considering the type of injury I sustained. I’d like
to try it! Sign me up!

Hey
Beverly, I caught the press release on channel 7, 10/08/10. And I was
very impressed and hopeful. I had an abcess on my spine (T3-T7) that
cause me to become a paraplegic.Since 02/07, my sensation has returned
and now I am able to move my legs and stand up with the walker. I can
lift my legs as in steps but I am still to weak to actually walk. I
feel that eLEGS would be a perfect fit. Since I am overweight, it would
provide me with the cardiovascular exercise that I need. I would be a
perfect candidate for any further testing on this particular situation.
Please contact me, because I’m very interested. All consideration would
be deeply appreciated.
