Wheelchair-Bound Veteran Walking Again With Robotic Exoskeleton

U.S. Army veteran Richard “Richie” Nieder hasn’t walked in ten years after suffering a debilitating spinal cord injury during Operation Iraqi Freedom. But now Nieder says he’s a “stand-up guy” again after getting a new robotic exoskeleton that allows him to stand and walk on his own. The exoskeleton is custom built just for Neider by ReWalk Robotics and is a test case for the Veterans Administration to see if they might work for other diabled vets.
