REX could help disabled people walk again - Audio

Hi John, you sound like your having a bad day! Rex Bionics have had hundreds of enquiries about Rex in the few weeks since launch so obviously those humble walking aids, while doing a great job, aren't entirely meeting the needs of the community. Rex users consistently report increased well-being when, and after, using Rex. You dont need to lug Rex, it can walk and a specially modified vehicle is not required either, Rex can sit in the rear seat or boot of a family car. So all in all I guess we did do our homework, the wheelchair users and Rex users employed by the company certainly think so, have you not seen the smile on a Rex users face? Richard from Rex Bionics

What is the feasibility of developing this product?? How many people in wheel chairs have 150,000 USD? Will they make their initial capital back, before something else is developed and sold for cheaper? and what about the humble walking aids already on the market, surely they must contribute in some ways towards rehabilitation (At a fraction of the cost) Also, this does not look that practical, do you lug this around with you, and in what, do you then purchase a vehicle purpose made for this contraption?....Did they really do their homework?
