“First, the delivery was super quick - from order to arrival was under 12hrs
Second, the device is amazing! I am moving about getting more confident each day and able to do so much more than on traditional crutches.
It's expensive, and I hope not to be using it for more than a couple of months, but it's worth it.
Reccommned!”
“Crutches are great if your upper torso is like Chalrs Atlas and knee trolleys are great if you live in a two-dimensional world. For anything else, and especially stairs, there really is nothing else that gives you the mobility that the iwalk knee crutch does. With a bit of practice, you can carry a cup of tea and walk!”
“The iWALK 3.0 is a game changer. I broke my leg and required crutches for 6 weeks. I felt absolutely useless as I couldn’t carry anything whilst using crutches. I couldn’t even make my wife a cup of tea or take my plate to the kitchen after a meal.
The iWALK changed this. My hand are free so I could carry things and feel useful again.
I can’t recommend the iWALK 3.0 highly enough.”
“I have been using this for a few weeks now, following a broken ankle.
The setup instructions (3 short videos) are clear and comprehensive. The crutch is straightforward to use and very soon could walk hands-free on a level surface.
It sounds obvious but it is so much easier to move around using your leg muscles (on the iWALK) than your arm muscles, like normal crutches - both in terms of strength and dexterity.
In use, the iWALK has two substantial advantages to normal crutches. First is you can carry stuff, since your hands are free - unfortunately this includes being able to vacuum and do other household chores - with normal crutches, this is impossible.
The second major advantage is that going up and down stairs is easy - although coming down backwards is the easiest way - this is hard on normal crutches, especially when you are not allowed any load on your bad foot.
Things to note: you need to be reasonably strong since in my case I had to move my leg, the cast on it and the iWALK, so it is all heavier than normal but not excessively.
I also added additional cushioning to the knee pad - I added a commercial knee pad (that fits inside work trousers) - in my case I used the Snickers 9110 Knee pad underneath the original one and it worked perfectly (£17 a pair on their website) and made it more comfortable.
I haven't found these as easy to use on slopping and very uneven surfaces, though that might be down to practice and confidence. Whilst I can walk on these, I find it reassuring to put my hand on someone's should just in case.
I still use normal crutches but mainly for exercising my bad ankle to gradually increase loading but for most other things, the iWALK is a game changer.”
“I was very impressed with how quick and easy the iwalk was to use and how stable it was. It is a clever device enabling immediate hands-free mobility and definitely helped with the speed of my recovery. Lastly, the offer of cashback for giving it to the hospital as a demo is a great idea for future patients and nice incentive.”
“Great product. I have used it twice when I required Achilles surgeries. - Weeks on crutches was the alternative.
Highly recommended & the service is excellent with a very supportive team.”
