That was my first thought. I'm sure a few of us would pitch in and see if we can hack one of these together for freejack!

I'd love one :-) but there are tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of kids that could benefit from devices like these. I have no medical training, but the benefits seem obvious. Someone with some ambition would do well to track down the man that invented this and figure out a way to commercialize them. Physiotherapists are buying treadmills right now - I can't imagine that it would take much to validate these as a replacement.
