I would like to run one day in a suit
because running is something you you
don't get to do anymore it's hearing
what you can I was in dirt in 2004 due
to a BMX bicycle accident
the biggest thing with the Phoenix that
can help with people that are disabled
and you know mainly paralyzed is being
able to get us up out of our wheelchairs
giving us the relief and giving us the
blood flow and movement that our bodies
naturally long
it gives them a level of Independence
for example if they use the hip module
then that's good for people who have to
have some sort of disorder at their camp
and then you can use the knee modules
for another tablet this concept of
modularity is very important for the
physician and a practitioner and also
for the patient and you can put it on
yourself without depending on other both
those devices are very heavy they
actually make you feel like you're
riding a robot Phoenix actually works
with your body so your natural movement
is happening it doesn't feel like
something's overpowering you to make you
move
all of a sudden I'm not actually having
to physically try to walk I'm just
walking
just like you guys do you don't even
realize you're walking you're walking
