REX Robotic Legs

A new product out of New Zealand is due for mainstream release soon; REX, a robotic walker very similar to the Argo ReWalk from Israel. Looks like the second best thing to a cure, but at $150 000 a pop, it’s out of the majority’s price range. But I guess they’re on the way to this stuff being widely used and accepted, so it can’t be too bad! Looks like it’s much more suited to paraplegics though, as there’s no real upper body support. I wouldn’t be able to balance in it. But if anyone ends up getting one, let me know! I’ll come and have a crack!
