First 3D Printed Hybrid Robotic Exoskeleton Helps Paraplegic Woman Walk Again

A keen skier who was left paralysed from the waist down after an accident can now walk again, thanks to the world's first 3D printed hybrid robotic exoskeleton suit.
Three-dimensional printer makers 3D systems have been working with robotic exoskeleton maker Ekso Bionics to make a custom suit for test pilot Amanda Boxtel, who was paralysed in a fall on the slopes of Aspen, Colorado in 1992.
Despite being told that she would never walk again, the incredible video here shows that through using the Ekso-Suit, Boxtel was able to stand up and walk, aided by crutches.

i-limb ultra Bionic Hand Moves Like Human Hand, Helps Arm Amputees Regain Dexterity

The i-limb ultra bionic hand made by Touch Bionics has revolutionized life for many arm amputees. Everyday tasks like getting dressed, brushing your teeth, tying shoe laces and driving a car are all made much easier with this durable prosthesis that features five individually articulating digits. Most myoelectric hands have a stationary thumb but with the i-limb ultra, people can use their other hand to manually rotate the electric thumb into a different position.
