Errol Samuels’ life changed on a spring night in 2012. He was at an off-campus college party and a patio roof collapsed on his back, paralyzing him from the waist down. We were with him in New York’s Central Park when, for the first time since the accident, he was preparing to take a walk in the park. The key is the computer, which allows the motors to work in synch. Walking is a series of controlled falls, explains Allan Kozlowski, PhD, Samuels' physical therapist and Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine.
