I was listening to a young lady on the radio earlier talking about fund raising £80k for a Rewalk Exoskeleton. She was talking as though it would transform her life back to how it used to be.
While I can see the benefits of standing, moving the joints, being face to face with others, etc, I struggle to agree with her view of it.
Even the idea that the user is walking seems a bit optimistic to me, surely the suit walks and carries the user with it. It always seems a bit ungainly to me with the motors whirring away and the robotic movements.
It got me wondering though what everyone on here thought of them, especially our SCI guys.

I agree robb Every time I see the Exoskeleton stuff I don't like it. I mean it's not my call to decide if it is a good thing or not but you're right, it's the machine doing the walking for that person and I find the device very bulky and just odd. Also the hassle to get into that thing. And apart from that, they are supposedly super expensive. I understand if a paralyzed person sees an opportunity in the device for walking and maybe making things easier and also helping with certain health related things as you mentioned above, but as for having a "better" life or a life how it used to be, I don't believe that the Exoskeleton will fill that gap. I think it could be beneficial in rehab settings but in every day life with normal tasks it seems kind of unrealistic. Maybe we see it different as devs because we see the person with their disability as a perfect human being and to us it is not a problem but of course for the actual paralyzed person it is a whole different thing and they see it from a different perspective. It kind of reminds me of those stories when a paralyzed person wants to "walk" or "dance" at their wedding or such things and use all types of devices and things to make that happen. I can't get anything romantic or emotional out of it, it feels very distracting. I feel it is almost sad that the partner can't accept the fact that the person is not walking or they can't accept it for themselves and think they have to be someone else for their partner. I don't know. It messes with my dev mind when I see those things.

I agree robb and dani. I see the health benefits in standing, exercising, physio etc but not sure why the fixation seems to be on "walking". For most pwd's, walking normally again is just not going to happen and i think if you can stay physically as healthy as possible but still seem desperate to "walk" in any shape or form, then maybe its your mental health that needs support. Surely peace of mind comes from accepting ? Really interested to hear some pwd opinions on this

We're living in the future. We literally have cyborgs living among us at this very moment!
For real though I totally see exoskeletons becoming commonplace in a decade or two. The rate at which this stuff is advancing, slimline exoskeletons will be around long before a "cure" for spinal injuries.
As a huge sci-fi fan I can't wait to get myself some robot legs!

I HATE this shit! These “inspirational” exoskeleton things are nothing but inspiration porn that detract from real progress. These stupid things have been around for years and have yet to improve anything. But that’s what everyone sees and thinks that the inability to walk is the problem. Not being able to walk is not what defines me, I get around just fine. I don’t want to be tethered to a battery pack that lasts for ten minutes while some technician walks me a few feet. The money wasted on these things could be better spent making things more accessible in the first place. Or put that money towards what really effects us like bladder/bowel/sexual function, chronic pain, public accessibility, transportation, the list goes on and on.

ANY scientific or engineering advance is a step in the right direction for ALL humanity. I know how important it is to be on your feet as often as possible.. you know... scientific studies and facts and what not.. improving bone density... circulation... digestion... over all health. Which is why I try and workout in my RGO's at least 1-2 times per week (even though technically they were NOT made for that). My heart has to work harder because my leg muscles do NOT flex the blood back up. NOT TO MENTION all the other improvements to my health that I listed and have been proven with scientific studies. If they eventually advance the product into being completely autonomous and light weight enough.. amazing. Have you seen the difference in the ekso and the indigo? Would call that an advance. Maybe not happening as fast as we all would like.. but that's scientific progress... You want to see more of it... how about advocating and lobby for it.. maybe vote in leaders that will fund the research... you know... 45 is cutting the research budget for SCI's. Is it a miracle cure... of course not... but it's a step in the right direction. Usually when I see such a vehemently strong reaction to something... it has more to do with your own personal issues than any real fact.... and I get it... wish we were making more ground... or working on something that would alleviate bowel and bladder issues and sexual function... as those are more important... with you on that. BUT I definitely will never scoff at ANY scientific (including robotics and feats of engineering) advancements. Just my non aggressive and humble opinion.

Were you using sarcasm there? I couldn't tell because it was so non-aggressive and subtle. I didn't think it was that strong of a reaction, to be honest. What would my "personal issue" even be for something like this? But I will disagree with you on a few points. First, I had a standing wheelchair for years and used it quite a bit. I read the same studies and talked to the doctors and therapists about the benefits of standing. It didn't hurt anything but I haven't had one for ten or so years and it hasn't impacted my health even a tiny bit. Diet and exercise sure has, though. But if that's your thing and it works for you, that's awesome. Second, I really do think these gimmicky things are detrimental to real, functional progress. They funnel money and attention from things that are really going to make a meaningful impact on peoples' day to day lives. I think a lot of it has to do with walking being the socially acceptable SCI issue. You think if someone came up with a device that would make me shit easier, that it would make tv shows and get passed around facebook like an inspiration joint? These devices have been around for 30+ years and other than looking cooler, they haven't really changed. The military has been trying for years and it's still a comic book dream. I'm all for science/engineering advancements. As society gets lazier, my life gets easier and cheaper. Think automatic van doors. They were a $5000 add on my first van and now they're standard equipment. This part did actually piss me off a little bit: "how about advocating and lobby for it.. maybe vote in leaders that will fund the research... you know... 45 is cutting the research budget for SCI's."Are you implying that I don't do my part? I was actually a disability advocate for 5 years and try to do quite a bit for the disabled community. I sincerely hope that's not what you meant. And not that it's anyone's business but of course I didn't vote for that thing.

Hi, everyone! I think this is pretty interesting stuff, even though I share robbb 's and @delight 's view on that there's a bit of a fixation for "walking again", depending on the person, of course. The perceived fixation is something that I've come across mainly with freshly injured people or those not (yet) initiated in the mysteries of our various disabilities. Walking is a powerful symbol ( Of not being disabled ), when placed next to a wheelchair. It's great stuff for those in the marketing, or for winning those hearts and minds. Ironically, probably everyone on this board with experience using long leg braces /w crutches, know that if it's mobility that you want, the wheelchair is the superior choice. I think OP made a great point about that this isn't something, that's going to miraculously change someone's life back to what it was. It's an easy temptation to fall into, which isn't a good thing, if it's something prevents one to learn how to let go and move forward with one's new life, as disabled as it may be. Howeverrrrr, @feetgearsnrotor made a big and important point about the progress of technology and science. I also can't help but to have mad respect for a mofo that has the guts to do the RGO's or LLB's twice a week. I'm also a bit of a techno-optimist, though I think, as of now and in the immediate future, powered exoskeletons are probably going to be something that's going to give its biggest contribution in the field of heavy industry and manufacturing. On the other hand, the more money there's going to be in it, the more there's going to be in the R&D as well. That knowhow is going to trickle down to other applications as well. Maybe that will include great stuff with both rehabilitation and terminators, some day. My guess? A lot of the stuff that's got to do with solving the piss, shit and sex-issues is the same stuff that's got to do with making slimline exoskeletons ( or fancy prosthetics ) viable. It's still a long way off, but progress isn't made by shitting our pants and doing nothing. When it comes to having a SCI and learning how to enjoy one's life, learning how to properly use your wheelchair is something that pays off big time, and it's here now. It's good to focus on now.If I can some day kick in the door of a major bank's vault with a fancy cybernetic leg Deus Ex-style, contact me for my number. Meanwhile? I'm good.

"I didn't think it was that strong of a reaction" - How is starting with "I HATE this shit!" not a strong reaction? What in your mind is a strong reaction if not this? Hate by definition is intense... as is the use of capitalizing and as is the use of an explanation mark. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hatewww.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exclamation%20point2.

I suspect they would be better authorities of identifying that BUT I suspect you left hints throughout your response.. "what's the point of these things" "Doesn't solve or detracts from real issues" "I get around just fine".... Sure there are nuggets to unpack there for any psychologist. 3. As far as your anecdotal statements that standing wheelchair didn't hurt anything but it didn't improve anything.... while in the same line mentioning studies and statements by docs and therapists. Very Trumpian of you. Facts aren't facts.... truth isn't truth.. it hasn't hurt me.... but anecdotally it hasn't done anything for me because I said so. What did you expect? No one said it was going to cure paralysis or illness.. but it has proven health benefits... SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN... as in evidence and facts that were repeatable. 4. As far as a distraction and detracts from real progress.... no scientific advancement detracts from general human advancement.. dot period. That is NOT open to debate.. that is not opinion.. that is fact. Think Lars frames it better than I could.... so refer to his statements as well. 5. Your statement that these techs have been around for 30 years is exaggeration and false. Esko was founded in 2005 and was featured and awarded renown in 2010.. but yeah... 30 years... sure. Apologies... when faced with so many Trumpian statements and alt facts.. I can't help but answer with at least a little sarcasm... 6. As far as what I meant by that... I do not know your personal stories... what laws can you prove that you directly had a hand in that got passed.... how much funds did you directly raise.. I just find it disingenuous to say you're an advocate yet shit on advancements made in robotics that can have practical applications... that continue to improve... if you compare schematics between ekso and indigo... these are actual recorded and comparable facts... that's what I like to deal in and speak in. I do not see how anyone would have an issue with any and all advancements in science and engineering.... any decrying of them alludes to personal baggage and biases that they have for one reason or another... dot period... Being on your feet is clearly better for any human person.. studies prove this. This isn't the cure or the end all be all... and there are other areas that could use more funding and better research... but still am baffled by the strong sentiment against it... despite what you say later... the use of the word "hate" capitalized and using an exclamation mark... by DEFINITION is a show of intense and strong emotions... and I am no psychologist... but I can almost guarantee that they could unpack your statement and identify how and why it's personal. Again.. words, studies, science... facts matter. All scientific advancement is a positive for all human kind.

Ok, not sure I have the right to comment, but i can't resist. I can't believe I am commenting. I usually just like reading what everyone else says.
I think that when we look back in history everything seems to start out bulky and expensive. Think about the first wheelchairs. They were huge and probably quite costly. Someone brought up automatic doors how pricey they were, and now are practically free. These devices aren't ment to combat anything other than mobility, so comparing them to medical research is like comparing apples and oranges. Both round, fruit and sweet but very different.
Hopefully with more interest, more demand they will be stronger, slimmer, last longer and work better. It isn't a cure, and not for everyone, but it is a step in the right direction.... maybe not yours, but someone elses. The application could be for so many people, too, not just for sci. So I am quite hesitant to believe this is just for Hollywood. We all have family/friends who have had strokes or have other reasons for mobility restrictions.
And I am truly sorry for pointing this out..... but for the person who said they don't want to be attached to a battery... you are currently attached to a battery. Maybe it lasts a lot longer than 10 minutes but batteries have a tendacy to improve very fast. I do believe that the new ones will have a 4 hour battery and that the older one has an 8 hour battery. I am no expert. Google is my teacher.
Already there is a suit that is half the weight and $40k. So not only is the bulkiness starting to come down but a reduction of $30k isn't something to frown at. Consider it like a car.
I think that it's great, and since my outlook is usually for therapy, and problem solving outside the box.... I think it's more than great! I hope they become cheaper and easier to use so that many people can reap the bennifits of this type of mobility and therapy. 😍

Simply put, it is a non-functional way to give new injury’s false hope and further their already “must walk” to be normal notions. So much billed therapy time and money wasted when they could be learning to shower independently or put pants on... I was listening to a young lady on the radio earlier talking about fund raising £80k for a Rewalk Exoskeleton. She was talking as though it would transform her life back to how it used to be. While I can see the benefits of standing, moving the joints, being face to face with others, etc, I struggle to agree with her view of it.

Again.. words, studies, science... facts matter. All scientific advancement is a positive for all human kind. Dude. You clearly have some hangups on this so I'll just hit the highlights and lob some logic back your way. 1. Obviously a subjective term. I've been binge watching Deadwood (Ian McShane is awesome) and I'm actually a little surprised that there wasn't more colorful language in my reply. 2. I don't even know what to say. I guess in your estimation, having a strong opinion on something means having a personal problem. That might be something you want to look into further. 3. So, if a study suggests that 99% of subjects see a particular result, does that mean that the 1% that didn't are lying and/or don't believe in science? I was optimistic that I would see less frequent UTIs, improved bowel control, better muscle tone, etc. I didn't. No harm done, it just didn't have those effects for me. I still believe in science. 4. I'll concede this one. Progress is a good thing and in engineering, maybe the big takeaway will be something unintended like a new lightweight material or something. But I still believe this is a novelty. Maybe time will prove me wrong but look at history. Weren't we supposed to have laser weapons and flying cars by now? Some tech just isn't viable. Sometimes shit just doesn't work like we hope. Most people that could benefit from these things couldn't afford them. Some private insurers and VA might cover them but Medicaid/Medicare most certainly won't. They don't cover standing chairs other than rare instances. They (standing wheelchairs) have been around forever and are probably as cheap as they're going to get, yet you see very few of them. I'd rather see research being done that will improve the lives of the many, rather than the few. But this is what people see and want to work on, the glory projects. 5. I remember seeing one on TV before I had my accident and that's coming up on 23 years. This stuff wasn't invented by Esko. Just read the first couple paragraphs here: www.eduexo.com/resources/articles/exoskeleton-history/6. I've probably spent a couple million dollars for accessibility over the past three years. Well, it's not my money. I manage Title II accessibility for the WI DNR. That's all parks, programs, facilities. I've gotten statutes changed and facilitated actual access for thousands of people. Before that I worked at an Independent Living Center. The state DHS still refers to the testimony I gave regarding self directed long term care (I know because my boss's wife is one of the directors). I'm getting tired of typing so I'll stop there. Anything else you want to know?

@mrniceguy and @feetgearsnrotor, you’re missing the main point here. Have either of you guys considered the implications that this technology could have on a much more underserved community? Exoskeletons are the future for human invertebrates.
Human invertebrates have been a struggling species throughout history, fighting for society to even just acknowledge their existence. Often regarded as “spongy people” and “flesh clumps”, human invertebrates lack the osteological structure to support themselves physically, and the intellectual structures to support themselves emotionally. Although it is rare, Spinelessness is seen most frequently among lawyers, finance workers, oil barons and politicians. Despite the financial success of such occupations, the human invertebrates community is still a suffering minority and it is our humanitarian obligation to assist the gelatinous group.
With the development of exoskeletons, spineless individuals can finally stand up straight, and will experience long-needed support for the first time in their lives. While the prices of exoskeletons may seem high, I am sure the group can easily afford the technology with the money they received from selling their souls.

@mrniceguy and @feetgearsnrotor, you’re missing the main point here. Have either of you guys considered the implications that this technology could have on a much more underserved community? Exoskeletons are the future for human invertebrates. Human invertebrates have been a struggling species throughout history, fighting for society to even just acknowledge their existence. Often regarded as “spongy people” and “flesh clumps”, human invertebrates lack the osteological structure to support themselves physically, and the intellectual structures to support themselves emotionally. Although it is rare, Spinelessness is seen most frequently among lawyers, finance workers, oil barons and politicians. Despite the financial success of such occupations, the human invertebrates community is still a suffering minority and it is our humanitarian obligation to assist the gelatinous group. With the development of exoskeletons, spineless individuals can finally stand up straight, and will experience long-needed support for the first time in their lives. While the prices of exoskeletons may seem high, I am sure the group can easily afford the technology with the money they received from selling their souls. Another masterpiece ! Love the way you cut out the pointless meandering and focus on the most important issue. Steve for President 😊
