Also used in ALIENS.

There is a company in San Diego that makes these same suits and has just obtained FDA approval. It’s called EKSO, listed on Nasdaq.

My mother in law is wheelchair bound due to MS. I’m waiting for these to be available for her to walk again, or even just to stand up on her own.
