Jeremy Renner Update: Avengers Actor Begins Walking Using Anti-Gravity Treadmill in New Video
Jeremy Renner was caught up in a New Year accident while he was trying to help a stranded motorist as he got caught up by his own snowplow. A few months after the accident, the Avengers star posted a video update about his condition.
According to Variety, Renner posted the video on Instagram and Twitter, and it showed the "Hawkeye" star walking with the assistance of an anti-gravity treadmill. The actor stated that he was making all of "the walking motion" himself, though the anti-gravity treadmill took off a percentage of his body weight as his legs slowly recovered.

In his post, Renner wrote, "Now is the time for my body to rest and recover from my will." This was the first time that the actor posted himself doing physical therapy since that New Year's Day snowplow accident where his Sno-Cat crushed his legs near his Lake Tahoe home in Nevada.
As for the anti-gravity treadmill, he says that "It's like having a cane." The treadmill uses anti-gravity technology for weight-supported walking, running, and other movements to help rehab clients recover from an injury or surgery or build strength and endurance while managing a chronic health condition, according to Yahoo! Entertainment.
