Watch as Peter uses our hospital's new ReWalk R to take his first steps in more than 3 years

See how this robotic exoskeleton works and hear from our physical therapists at Shriners Hospitals in Chicago.

Wow. This is absolutely incredible technology. The love and support of All types of Caregivers to keep Peter's Journey moving forward is amazing. God Bless Shriners.

I'm not gonna lie I cried, but happy tears. this is amazing! if you think back to the 90's when there wasn't much hope, and now we are finding ways for people to walk again. wow

1:48 says it all. I am proud of Peter for the way things have turned out for him but also for all the hard work he put into getting there.

This is very heartwarming. The ReWalk device was invented in Israel. Right now its expensive, but the vision of its creators is that it, and similar devices will be made available to everyone that needs them.

I wish I'd known about that before I turned 18. I used to go to the Shriners Hospital in Minneapolis. I was born with spina bifida and have never walked!
