Rex Bionics Allows Paralyzed Man to Walk!

Prosthetics is one industry that has been evolving tremendously recently! Recently in fact a New Zealand biotech company developed a technology that allowed a paralyzed man to talk again. This bionic leg technology is known as REX (robotic exoskeleton). This $160,000 machine is a piece of equipment that uses advanced controls to allow a paralyzed person to walk up slopes, go up and down stairs, and do much more making it much more useful than today’s wheelchairs. It even keeps the person at eye to eye level with other people which is amazing!

Now from what I see this technology isn’t perfect but it’s getting there, check out the video above and the picture below and let me know what you think!
