TechCrunch profiles eLEGS at VMC

posted by Valley Medical Center Foundation. Friday, May 06, 2011

TechCrunch paid a visit to the Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Unit at VMC last week to profile eLEGS, the bionic exoskeleton designed to help paralyzed patients walk again. VMC is the first clinical testing site of the device in the United States. Thanks to the leadership of Dr. Akshat Shah and a terrific team of therapists and technicians from Berkeley Bionics, TechCrunch captured the amazing potential of this technology.

Watch the video to see eLEGS in actions.







The VMC Foundation is actively fundraising to support the testing of eLEGS of VMC. As VMC and Berkeley Bionics study how patients respond to the device, needed improvements can be made. Our goal is to make eLEGS available to all in need. Please consider a small investment to help us get there.








P.S. Don’t know TechCrunch? They are only one of the leading technology news sites in the United States. Make them part of your daily diet of news and information.
