"An exoskeleton wouldn't let her do any of those things and would significantly reduce her quality of life."
I do not want to talk down on the wheelchair, but what about an exoskeleton as simply another way to get around and do other things, you cannot do in a wheelchair, because not every way is level? That would probably be a further improvement, if the tech would be ready and affordable?
If I ever loose my ability to walk, I really hope walking "wheel"chairs or something like a exoskeleton will be avaiable.
