On January 6, 2002, while snowboarding with her sister at Big Bear Lake, California, Krystina sustained a severe neck injury after a fall that fractured her C4-C5 vertebrae, resulting in paralysis from the chest down. Over the years, through extensive physical and respiratory therapy, Krystina has regained respiratory function, significant arm movement, and sensation throughout much of her body. She is eager to continue her recovery through the therapeutic benefits of the Myolyn MyoCycle FES bike.
