For the legs we're thinking of a system that the army came up with, Its a back pack with hydraulics that move metal joints from the back pack to your shoes to take weight off your legs.
The issue with this system is that the pack is too large and heavy to be any use.
A second system we found is Rex Bionics (Page) It gives more mobility and its smaller system. but the main issue is the price tag, it cost 150,000 to make and they are getting people willing to pay 250,000.

So what if the person is actually paralyzed in their legs?
Hey Bat - great to see Rex mentioned in your post. Your "Body Forward" season is an interesting topic and will certainly raise some good questions about the best applications for new bio-tech along with some interesting discussions on themes like "what is a disability?" and "where does freedom of choice end and decisions made by artificial intelligence begin?". I'd be interested to see how your discussion develops. Thomas at Rex Bionics
Yes I do.
A: What is its power source and how long does it take to recharge?
B:How long does the charge last?
