EXOSKELETON
An exoskeleton is a wearable bionic suit. It enables individuals with any lower limb weakness or paralysis to stand up and move in a walking motion. By standing and moving in a walking motion the user gets the benefits of walking which they wouldn't otherwise get by remaining in a sitting position.

ANTI-GRAVITY TREADMILL
The anti-gravity treadmill is used by people who have some strength in their legs but their walking is severely weakened by MS, stroke or paralysis. By reducing the gravity, moving becomes easier. The gravity can then be increased as they progress. It is being used by people with SCI, stroke and MS.
