With Israeli Tech, Paralyzed IDF Vet Walks Down the Aisle
(Times of Israel) Dudu Shevy, 32, a disabled IDF veteran paralyzed in a car accident 12 years ago during his army service, has been wheelchair-bound ever since. After seeing the Rewalk Robotics exoskeleton system on TV, Shevy turned to the Israeli developer to ask to loan the equipment (it costs NIS 250,000). ReWalk developer Amit Goffer, who is paralyzed himself, agreed. After three months of secret training, sponsored by the Defense Ministry, Shevy shocked his family by walking down the aisle to his bride on his wedding day.
