“an amazing product such a lifesaver when you first get told about an injury. Good content as well on site to help you get your head around it. Would recommend as I got my mobility and hands back !”
“What can I say. I was given NHS crutches and a zimmer frame. I have rotator cuff issues in my left arm, carpel tunnel in my right hand neither of these devices were good for me. Under arm crutches helped but hurt after a while. The knee crutch has opened up my world again. I am able to go upstairs again, get into my workshop again. Great. Independence and dignity returning.”
“Arms and wrists are not designed for continuous pressure - the crutch puts the stress where it should be, on the legs without stressing the lower leg. Seemed expensive when originally examined but when you see the amount of thought and design that has been put into the crutch it is worth the cost”
“It was a little strange at first as previously I had a knee replacement on the same leg as my new ankle and I was not used to kneeling on it but once I got the hang of it it was good only needed it for two weeks until I had the plaster cast off but during that time it helped”
“The iWalk3 is great for freeing up your hands to carry things, do chores etc. It takes a few minutes to set it up correctly but once done I was quite confident from the go. Having hands free also makes stairs a lot less intimidating as you use the hand rail for extra security.
The compactness of the iWalk is also a benefit compared to the kneeling scooters that are quite large and much less manoeuvreable in smaller spaces.
Glad you provided the extra foam pad as my total ankle replacement (TAR) has meant I have a plastic cast that is open at the front to allow for swelling and the plastic tends to dig into the shin. The foam helps but it really needs something between the plastic and the shin (that would need the surgical team to add after the op that would still let the leg breathe etc) hence I wouldn't want to walk that far.
Minor criticism is that the foam on the inner thigh pad became unstuck after a few days which meant I had to use some adhesive - but since then it is fine and the overall build quality is very good.
I would thoroughly recommend the iWalk3”
