Paralyzed Woman Walks Again Thanks to New Technology

A 22-year-old woman who is paralyzed from the waist down can walk again thanks to a first-of-its-kind wearable device.

Caroline Laubach of Macungie, Pennsylvania, is one of the first people in the world to benefit from Eve, the world’s first self-balancing exoskeleton — an external skeleton — which provides hands-free walking independence.

Laubach controls the exoskeleton with a joystick that allows her to walk and turn, go up and down stairs and bend up and down.
