Amit Goffer's ReWalk

This Newsweek article is actually an excerpt from a recent book.  Here, author Avi Jorisch tells the story of Amit Goffer, who was paralyzed in an ATV accident in 1996.  Eighteen years later Goffer completed the first ReWalk.  In simplest terms, the ReWalk is an exoskeleton which allows users to stand and walk with crutches.  It offers mobility and potential health benefits to many people with spinal cord injuries or other types of paralysis.  Although a higher-level injury prevents him from using the ReWalk, Goffer continues to invent technology that will help others stand and walk.  It is good to hear that he himself has finally been able to stand again using his recently-invented UpNRide device.
