It goes to show that a man's love knows no boundaries of current science and technology. Innovation driven by determination can change fates. One of the best dads ever.
I wish more hackers would invest their time and energies in this kind of projects. Inspiring.
This is the kind of entrepreneur I hope to be someday. A man on a mission, fixing something close to his heart. Just awesome.
I have literally never seen a single video on that BBC site, on any of my machines. It just keeps loading. Is it just me?
There is so much inspiration here.
A father's love, creativity and the hunger to fix what is broken. Awesome!
Incredibly inspiring.
Am I the only one who finds it disturbing that a mechanic was able to accomplish something that first world medical industry said couldn't be done?
It just goes to show that if you have a disease, condition or injury, life threatening or not. It pays to self diagnose and be your own doctor. We can specialize more in our specific problem than an entire industry devoted to the body of all problems.

My son has cerebral palsy and I can see the immediate benefit that a machine like this would bring to him. We are currently using a similar harness on a regular treadmill, but this therapy doesn't help him learn that he needs to raise his feet and move them in a circular motion forward and then set them down again - seeing how the machine handles this using the same idea as an elliptical trainer immediately opened my eyes to the deficiencies in the approach we're using in the modern clinic we're attending. I would love to be able to help fund the development and manufacture of these devices in some way.
