Bionic John strides into a bright mobile future

ENGLAND: A man unable to walk unaided since he was a child has become the first person in the UK to be fitted with a life-changing computer-controlled leg brace.

The lower-limb bionic exoskeleton brace helps people living with partial paralysis, spinal injury, post-stroke and post-polio syndrome to walk naturally again.

John Simpson, 63, from London, is the first patient in the UK to wear the device and he said: “It’s going to change my life.”
