Recently, the Bourne Legacy alum shared clips of himself performing a variety of different exercises in a bid to regain full mobility after his shin bone was shattered.
More than a week ago he posted a motivational video showing the progress he has made since the accident.
In the clip, Renner was seen needing help as he took each step with a walker.
At the end of the video compiled by his physiotherapist, he not only improved his speed and stability, but was walking hands-free with increased confidence.
Months earlier, on New Year’s Day, Renner had survived being run over by a snowplow and suffered serious injuries.
In April, the Oscar nominee made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote his documentary miniseries, Rennervations.

During the interview, he also spoke of how “lucky” he was to survive the horrifying crash.
He revealed that it was lucky the machine missed critical parts of his anatomy.
“He just missed all the vertebrae, did not touch any organ, the membrane did not swell,” he detailed. “My eye came out – it’s weird – but I was lucky none of the organs were damaged.”
The New Year’s crash left more than 30 of Renner’s bones shattered, and he was hospitalized in “critical condition” and underwent multiple surgeries.
