Abstract

Many people who have spinal cord injuries also have dramatic tales of disaster: a diving accident, a car crash, a constructionsite catastrophe. But Chloë Angus has quite a different story. She was home one evening in 2015 when her right foot started tingling and gradually lost sensation. She managed to drive herself to the hospital, but over the course of the next day she lost all sensation and control of both legs. The doctors found a benign tumor inside her spinal cord that couldn't be removed and told her she'd never walk again. But Angus, ajetsetting fashion designer, isn't the type to take such news lying—or sitting—down.

为跳舞而设计的外骨骼：自平衡运动保证更大的敏捷性

许多脊髓损伤的人也有戏剧性的灾难故事：潜水事故，车祸，建筑工地灾难。但是Chloë安格斯有一个完全不同的故事。2015年的一个晚上，当她的右脚开始刺痛并逐渐失去知觉时，她在家。她设法自己开车去了医院，但在第二天的过程中，她失去了所有的感觉和双腿的控制。医生在她的脊髓内发现了一个无法切除的良性肿瘤，并告诉她再也不能走路了。但安格斯，这位经常坐飞机的时装设计师，并不是那种对这样的消息无动于衷的人。
