An eight-year-old boy with cerebral palsy has been restricted to a wheelchair all his life, but he recently took his first steps thanks to a robotic exoskeleton designed specifically for children.David Zabala was fitted with a new Atlas 2030 exoskeleton that features mechanical joints that adapt to his motions, allowing him to finally walk freely.The innovation is part of a therapy method being used at a facility in City, because research shows that allowing paralyzed children the opportunity to walk 'not only extends their life expectancy and enhances their physical well-being, but also improves their self-esteem.'
