Why is Jake using a regular wheelchair in the year 2154?
In the movie Avatar (2009), why is Jake using a regular wheelchair in the year 2154? Shouldn't exoskeletal leg braces (like the ones that Tony gave to Rhodes at the end of Captain America: Civil War) be cheaply available by then? How come they have huge AMP suits for combat but don't have exoskeletal leg braces?

He couldnt afford anything better.
A big part of the relationship between Jake and Quaritch was that if he helped him out and reported on the natives then he would help him get his legs back. Seemingly the technology was available to do that but it wasnt standard issue for everyone.
