Success Story

David's life-changing experience

David was serving in the US Marine Corps when a bomb exploded directly next to him in Afghanistan. Not only did the blow affect him physically by paralyzing both legs, but it also affected him mentally. After using a wheelchair for seven years, David tried C-Brace after being told he would never walk again. Using advanced microprocessor sensor technology, C-Brace supports David’s movements with every step.

I’ve been down the darkest part of the road, to make the final decision to not want to live anymore. Putting on the C-Brace for the first time was a feeling I could never relive again. Right then, it was me again. I used to serve my country, and now I serve my family."
