Anouk Schmitt has two paralyzed legs and is confined to a wheelchair. But she may learn how to walk again with a walking robot. Her dream is to stand before her partner Lukas at eyelevel.
Anouk Schmitt is only 24 years old. But a serious illness paralyzed both her legs and confined her to a wheelchair. An exoskeleton could help her regain some independence. Her doctors agree the walking robot could even contribute to slowing muscle loss and stabilizing her circulation. But an exoskeleton is expensive, and only a handful of insurance agencies cover the costs. Anouk Schmitt is fighting for her dream of walking. On Your Own Two Feet - Walking with an Exoskeleton A Report by Florian Nusch.

- Agamemnon Atredies: You make an excellent point. I suppose they paid a great deal to the politicians, but as most people already drunk the coolaide they may have gotten a cheap deal. Do you think the politicians would give away our free choice for free?!
- Machin Truc: Not going political here, but in France 11 vaccines are mandatory since 1 January 2018... Wonder how much pharmaceutical companies paid for that law to pass
- pizza Price: it might but will took a long time.
- Pedro Aramburu: How can I get in touch with this company ?
- Han Keat Lim: The noise of the exoskeleton is annoying. Moreover, beside walking they still cannot do any other things, as they still have to use crutches.
- Agamemnon Atredies: Please take special note: this is what vaccinations can do to you. Every shot is some degree of toxicity.
Anouk was poisoned by a hepatitis vaccination and lost the use of her legs...
In regards to "walking" when paralyzed... to me it makes more sense to position someone on a Segway-NineBot. They can be vertical with the self balancing technology, mobile and control with their hands. Much simpler and already in existence.
- pincarto donn: i see your point, but i personally think that these developments would have still come about if the military had not been a driving force, after all,this kind of development comes about from compassion,not hate
- pincarto donn: pizzario i agree i would have taken longer, but then that would suggest that thousands of people would not have lost their legs, for what always turns out to be a futile effort, plus, we can only make that assumption because of the way history has been
- pincarto donn: isnt that a better way to see money spent,rather than drones and wmd's, military ego,
- pizza Price: The first true exoskeleton in the sense of being a mobile machine integrated with human movements was co-developed by General Electric and the United States Armed Forces in the 1960s. The suit was named Hardiman, and made lifting 110 kilograms (250 lb) feel like lifting 4.5 kilograms (10 lb).

some of useful thing that save billion of life originated from military and defense research.
