(Boston Globe) Robert Weisman - Argo Medical Technologies Ltd., an Israeli company that makes devices enabling paraplegics to walk, said Tuesday that it will open its U.S. headquarters in Massachusetts and expects to hire up to 40 people within the next 3-5 years. The move was disclosed at the AdvaMed 2012 medical technology convention, where a U.S. Army veteran who uses a wheelchair demonstrated Argo's ReWalk device by climbing down from a podium with crutches and ambling through the Boston Convention Center. "I am standing, and the doctors told me I would never stand again," said Theresa Hannigan, an Army sergeant. "This is life altering. It gives me independence."
