Emma Lavelle was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, a rare neuromuscular condition that made it almost impossible for her to lift or move her arms. She now uses the Wilmington Robotic EXoskeleton (WREX), an assistive device made of hinged metal and plastic bars and resistance bands, that is manufactured by a 3D printer. It was developed at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del. She was pictured in her suburban Philadelphia home on March 29, 2012.
