A woman who is paralysed from the chest down has completed the Great North Run wearing an Israeli exoskeleton.
Claire Lomas, who has also finished the London Marathon, took five days to walk the half marathon in the ReWalk suit, created by Israeli entrepreneur Amit Goffer after he was paralysed in a car crash.
The exoskeleton senses the user’s motions and provides them with the power to make stronger hip and knee movements.
Mrs Lomas, who is 16 weeks pregnant, told the BBC the 13.1-mile race from Newcastle to South Shields was harder than those she had previously walked.
