ELEGS - a unique robotic exoskeleton

Amanda Boxtel, one of the hospital patients' Craig Hospital "shows the device eLEGS, represents the very latest robotic exoskeleton for patients who suffer from paralysis or weakness of the limbs. Amanda Boxtel was paralyzed from the waist down after an accident that occurred during skiing, and now, with the help of a unique instrument, it will be able to walk. ELEGS was developed by «Berkeley Bionics» and will be field-tested in the hospital Craig Hospital.
