This would be huge if it were a standard to go worldwide. Wheelchairs are such an old design. It's been updated here and there but it's over a hundred years old. Sitting all the time is not healthy and deteriorates comfort the longer you're in a sitting position. Plus there's all the consequential injuries along the way: torn/pulled muscles, rotator cuff wear and tear, arthritis, herniated disks, etc. Then there's the conversational eye contact, at least for me. Not being at eye level kinda messed with me. Also can't always hear conversations because the sound waves are literally going over my head ha.
Between these exoskeletons and the spinal cord stimulation devices, things are looking better for some of us. Fingers crossed
