Richie Neider has been in a wheelchair since 2013 after suffering a spinal cord injury when hit by an IED.
Richie Neider of Phoenix received a spinal cord injury from an IED explosion during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005, leaving him wheelchair-bound after scar tissue complications in 2013.
Now, using a ReWalk Personal 6.0 Exoskeleton, he can walk on his own for the first time in nearly 10 years. "I'm now getting to go out to the real world with it other than just training and simulating it," Neider."Now I'm the stand-up guy! After ten years of not walking, it's one of the most amazing feelings. You don't forget how to walk, your brain always tells you."
