:bouncing: It's true! surfing through the net I found out that there are several devices in the making which could help all disables walk independently this include the Robowalker and the LIfesuit. However, most are still in the making stage or are lack funding to make it. Maybe in the future the dream of all disabled people might just come true.

I'm not convinced that something like that will work for everybody - they don't take into account people with involuntary movements of any type, or people whose tone goes up when they're wearing braces/tone resists movement.

Might be suitable for paraplegics etc though, and people whose CP manifests as weakness.
