if patient can't move leg/legs
remove kneecap and replace it with a motor under skin that connects with thigh bone and shin bone so that patient can walk again
battery would be outside leg, inside pants, close to knee motor and would stream electricity into motor through inductive charging
battery would be replaced with other battery and then recharged
motor would be connected through wifi with computer in rugsack or bag, computer would control motor movement
sensors would be placed in clothes so that computer can determine body movement and intent of where patient wants to walk
if patient later regains movement of legs through other medical treatment, then motor can be replaced with artificial kneecap
if system is considered too radical, then use exoskeleton
