Muniba Mazari walks for the first time in 10 years with the help of a robot

Muniba Mazari who is a renowned motivational speaker and philanthropist from Islamabad walked for the first time in 10 years after her unfortunate accident which caused her to lose function in the lower body.

Muniba tweeted a heartwarming message with a couple of pictures and a video of herself trying to walk using the help of a robotic exoskeleton made by ReWalk Robotics in America.

The ReWalk Exoskeleton provides powered hip and knee motion that enables a paralyzed individual to stand and walk, just like in case of Muniba Mazari whose lower body is completely paralyzed.

Mazari met a horrific car accident in 2007 at the age of 21 while traveling with her husband. She suffered a major spinal cord injury along with many other minor injuries.

This special exoskeleton is designed specifically for people suffering from injuries like Mazari and has so far produced exceptional results.
