Exoskeleton Helps Paralysed Woman

A woman who became paralysed from the chest down after contracting viral meningitis has described the physical and mental benefits of a life-changing exoskeleton. The equipment, known as the Exomotus M4, is a robot that moves the user's leg in a natural walking pattern.

The woman said the exoskeleton has brought her massive benefits, helping her circulation and bone density, having already been diagnosed with osteopenia - loss of bone density - from not putting weight on her legs for two years.
