I have thought about this often...especially after a visit to my spinal unit after visiting my consultant. There does seem to be a fixed option that we need to be upright and walk..walk ...walk at all costs!.......................and often there is a cost! 
Yes, there are indeed benefits for standing but such as walking with an esko skeleton suit....i think that many individuals with SCI are actually busy getting on with their life.
I know that there is a small percentage of people who just cannot move on with their life when depression especially takes a hold...whilst they wait for a cure that allows them to walk but im not certain if this is what they had in mind either..
I dont know about you guys but i cant imagine that many are going to want to go around their daily life strapped up like a robot? I can see a great purpose for it on occasions like getting married etc if you really want to walk down the aisle but then there can be a concern for those to have to consider AD and or spasms.
I cannot comment on the viewpoint of complete injured individuals but i would imagine that their hope and dream of being able to walk again will not have been by the means of being strapped up within an esko skeleton suit?!
What do you think about this...please comment...
