"If a Veteran with SCI/D is unable or unwilling to travel to a VA Exoskeleton Training Center for training, case-by-case consideration will be given to enable the Veteran and companion to receive training at a VA facility that does not have an exoskeleton training program or at a non-VA facility."
Emily Wasserman of Fierce Medical Devices reports that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has decided to pay for the ReWalk exoskeleton for paralyzed veterans with spinal cord injuries after evaluating the system on 45 paralyzed veterans who fit the height and weight requirements. According the article, the studies found that paraplegics who used the exoskeleton as little as four hours a week for three to 5 months had better bowel and bladder function, less back pain and fatigue and improved sleep.
