eLegs tester Amanda Boxtel hadn't walked since becoming paralyzed from the waist down during a skiing accident in Snowmass, Colo., in 1992.
Living life in a wheelchair, she says, means always looking up at people. Taking steps in the eLegs exoskeleton, she says, means she can look people straight in the eye. She can get real hugs, and maybe even go for hikes outdoors, one of her favorite activities.
