That's interesting for a couple reasons, for me.

Way back in my younger days I fell in love with the most wonderful person, we had wonderful times together. But one late summer day this love of my life was rendered quadriplegic before my very eyes. They lived in a wheelchair for 30 years afterward... and passed about 20 months ago. But last week I had a vivid dream where they appeared wearing some apparatus very much like the exoskeleton in the article, there were braces for the arms like those for the legs, they approached me and gave me a wonderful hug while standing... something we hadn't done for over 30 years, then I woke up.

The thing they were wearing to make it possible for them to stand and walk looked like that without the hand-held poles!!
