You think running a marathon is tough? Try running a marathon wearing a 40-lb exoskeleton strapped to your lower body.
And try doing it without the use of your legs.
It took her 16 days, but 32-year-old Claire
Lomas has done it. On May 8, she crossed the finish line of a race that began on April
22, greeted by crowds of supporters as she emerged from under an arch of red balloons at the marathon’s end. Lomas, who is paralyzed from the chest down, wore a “bionic” suit designed to allow people with lower-limb paralysis to walk and stand, which helped her cover about two miles a day.
The ReWalk suit, designed by Israeli firm Argo Medical Technologies, was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (and, TV watchers will note, featured on an episode of Glee) . It costs about $70,000
