A seven-year-old boy who has cerebral palsy has become the first person in the country to trial a company's bionic exoskeleton at home.
Asger, from Stroud in Gloucestershire, tested the new £72,000 powered exoskeleton to improve his range of mobility.
Parents Holly and Sam said it had been "exciting" to see him walk all the way to school. However, they said if they want to buy the potentially "life-changing" Agilik orthosis made by company Bionic Power, they would have to fundraise for it.
Sam Walmsley, from the London Orthotic Consultancy, which is running the trial, said he was sure the technology would become available to the masses in the future.
