A man paralysed from the shoulders down has been able to walk using a robotic exoskeleton controlled by his brain.

The 28-year-old patient used a system of sensors implanted near his brain to send messages to move all four of his paralysed limbs after a two-year-long trial of the whole-body exoskeleton.
