"If I can do it, you can too. I'm turning my dreams into my reality one step at a time!" states Amanda Boxtel who was paralyzed 19 years ago in a skiing accident in Colorado. Amanda demonstrates eLEGS, which is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that enables paraplegics and individuals with lower-extremity-weakness to power up, stand up and walk. Amanda is at Craig Hospital, which is one of 10 leading rehabilitation hospitals selected by Berkeley Bionics to conduct preliminary investigational studies of the eLEGS Professional device. Craig Hospital www.craighospital.org is a non-profit, national rehabilitation hospital and research center that specializes exclusively in treatment and research of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
