ReWalk is a commercial bionic walking assistance system, utilising powered leg attachments to enable paraplegics to stand upright, walk, and climb stairs.[1][2] The system is powered by a backpack battery, and is controlled by a simple wrist-mounted remote which detects and enhances the user's movements.[3] Designed in Israel, the ReWalk is marketed by Argo Medical Technologies. The device underwent clinical trials at MossRehab in suburban Philadelphia.[4]

Versions
The original ReWalk is available in two versions – the ReWalk I and the ReWalk P. The ReWalk I is intended for use by medical institutions for research or therapy, and is used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist. The ReWalk P is a personal unit, intended for personal use by patients at home or in public. The ReWalk was approved for hospital use in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011,[3] but FDA approval for home and public use remains pending.[5] The ReWalk system is priced at approximately US$85,000 per unit.[5]
An updated version of the system, dubbed ReWalk Rehabilitation 2.0, was unveiled in January 2013. The ReWalk 2.0 features improved sizing, allowing taller individuals to wear it more comfortably, and enhanced controlling software.[6]
First exoskeleton-assisted marathon runner
On 8 May 2012, paralyzed British woman Claire Lomas used a ReWalk to become the first person ever to finish a marathon using a bionic assistance suit. Lomas, who was paralyzed from the waist down in a 2007 riding accident, completed the London Marathon in 16 days with her ReWalk system.[7] Later in 2012, Lomas became the first person to take the ReWalk suit home to assist her in everyday tasks.[8]
In popular culture
In the American TV series Glee, a ReWalk is used by fictional character Artie Abrams during the Season 2 episode "A Very Glee Christmas".[9][10]
