“I feel like Iron Man.” 🥹⁣ •⁣ Former Humboldt Bronco Ryan Straschnitzki walks again using cutting-edge exoskeleton. 🙌⁣ •⁣ Seven years after being paralyzed in the tragic 2018 bus crash, Ryan Straschnitzki stood tall once again, this time with the help of a $400,000 robotic exoskeleton. 💪⁣ •⁣ The advanced XoMotion device, developed by Vancouver-based Human in Motion Robotics, allowed Ryan to walk a 40-foot track, handle a hockey stick, and even toss a football. 🤩⁣ •⁣ “Science is expanding every day… I’m very fortunate to try it,” Ryan shared. “I forgot how tall I was.” 😁⁣ •⁣ Straschnitzki, who was the inspiration behind the technology, now sees a future where people with spinal cord injuries can reclaim mobility, and a new perspective. 👏⁣ •⁣ So great to see! 💜 #thegist⁣ •⁣ (c/o @rstraz_, @camiKepke/x)⁣ •⁣ #humboldtstrong #hockey #ryanstraschnitzki #exoskeleton #menssports
