U.S. Army veteran Richard Neider is able to walk again after suffering a spinal-cord injury in thanks to a robotic exoskeleton. Neider, who is the first veteran in Phoenix to receive the ReWalk Personal 6.0 Exoskeleton through a Veterans Affairs program, was unable to walk after being injured in an explosion in Iraq and has spent almost ten years in a wheelchair. The battery-powered, motorized device has sensors that detect when he shifts his weight and then tells Neider's other leg to move - creating a walking motion. The light exoskeleton helps to stabilize his knees and hip.
