A DAD of four left paralysed by a serious crash is battling to get back on his feet with an innovative robotic therapy.

Luke Louden, 32, was given a “slim chance” of walking again after breaking his neck and back in August 2020.

Four months ago, he began using the ZeroG Gait and Balance System.

The tech supports his bodyweight and synchronises with his movement.

He has managed to walk up to 62 yards at the Glasgow spinal injuries unit where he is receiving treatment.

Luke, who lives with wife Anna in Whauphill, Dumfries and Galloway, said: “I’ve had some dark times, but now I can look forward with real hope.”

The dairyman, who has daughters Anna, eight, Chloe, six, Mary, four, and son Isaac, three, said: “The dream would obviously be to walk my girls down the aisle.”
