New Device Makes Wheel Chairs Obsolete

This device holds great promise for paraplegics and others confined to wheelchairs.

The TEK Robotic Mobilization Device is a machine developed to replace the wheelchair. In this demonstration video, we see a man with a severe injury to his spinal cord able to move about in ways that a wheelchair would make very difficult.
