Military Bionic Suit Helps Paralyzed to Walk Once Again

For those who have been told they'd never walk again, a variety of medical therapies have shown some promise, but not as immediate as a suit with military origins.

Watch this video from ABC News, showing how the Ekso Suit has helped 27-year-old Aaron Bloom and others get back on their feet following a spinal cord injury.
