Please review WP:MEDRS; we cannot cite medical facts to blogs and press releases. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:12, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved now – independent sources and professional medical refs for paraplegia statistics have been added. — Michaelmas1957 (talk) 17:59, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MedGadget.com[edit]

The Medgadget article - currently this article's first referenced source - says the Vanderbilt device is lighter and smaller than the competition, but our article says it is lighter than most contemporary powered exoskeletons. Which is true? --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If our article is correct, it throws some doubt upon the reliability of that Medgadget article. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 05:24, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "most" label here I think refers to other commercial or semi-commercial therapeutic exoskeletons (like the ReWalk or HAL). I'll clarify that in the article. — Michaelmas1957 (talk) 05:57, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article reads like an advertisement for the Vanderbelt exoskeleton.Mylittlezach (talk) 12:48, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
