Jump to 35:05 to see that paraplegic lady walk and I mean WALK.

This is a documentary released this year about the newest breakthroughs in science featuring Stephen Hawking.
It is composed of several parts with different kinds of technology but also contains a part about paraplegics and helping them walk in the near future.
Go back a few minutes if you want to watch from the beginning of the "science against paraplegia" part.

Seems similar to HAL

HAL would need some modifications to be used on paraplegics but it already is in use by disabled people and in mass production!
