Key information quoted:
Within minutes of using the poles, several of the Soldiers showed a marked improvement in their mobility.
Sgt. Jose Cruz, WTB, said, “It’s really good, better than using the walker. I feel really good.”
Command Sgt. Maj. Jim Bunch, WTB, who spotted Cruz, was impressed. He said that Cruz had had several injuries to his back and legs, and had told Bunch that he hadn’t been able to walk upright since his injuries and surgeries. After several rounds with the poles, Cruz was not only walking upright, but taking significantly larger steps than he had with his walker.
