“There's a song for how I felt: "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!". Even with underlying sciatica that irritates the area behind my knee I managed to fit the strap comfortably, after a bit of twiddling with the padding. It did take me a while of trying it on, tweaking the straps & height to my liking, taking it on & off, before I suddenly found the sweet spot that felt perfect. Then it was down to practice. For anyone that feels unsure, most physiotherapists seem to have experience of the iWalk and are able to help. Thoroughly recommend it: great device.”
“It is a great device to help with motability. And the fact that it is indeed hands free is such a bonus, when carrying things. I could cook and do other chores, I just couldn't do using elbow crutches. I would definitely recommend it. Customer service was great, I could speak to a friendly human. The device was easy to assembled and my husband thought it was strong and offered secure support.”
“This has been a game changer for someone like me who lives alone in a first floor flat and was struggling to do much to look after myself or keep my flat tidy when I was using crutches. The freedom to be able to use my hands has been amazing. It's now so much easier (and less taxing on my healthy leg and arms) to prepare food for myself, tidy up my flat so I have a nicer environment around me (especially since I'm spending so much time at home due to my injury) and even go out on a couple of occasions for small errands nearby (corner shop, post office etc). Realistically, it's not like I'm going to go on long hikes in the countryside with this (my knee and and upper thigh on the injured side would get too sore), but for moving around my flat, up and down the stairs to the ground floor of my building (one of the main reasons i preferred the iWalk to a scooter-type knee walker) and short walking distances nearby (or walking to the bus stop near me and hopping on the bus to go a bit further away), it's been amazing. It was a bit of an investment for me given the price, but one I'm glad I made, given that I bought it with another 6 weeks of non-weight bearing to go in front of me (and having already suffered through 6 weeks of non-weight bearing with crutches, which I didn't want to go through again).”
“I ordered the hands free crutch after I ruptured my Achilles' tendon and was in a plaster cast using regular crutches. I have to say it completely changed my rehab process. I hated feeling so debilitated - not being able to make a cup of tea and walk it back to the sofa, relying on my flatmate to help me hang my washing, cook dinner, hoover the flat etc (not to mention how exhausting and painful it is to haul yourself around all day on normal crutches.) The hands free crutch solved ALL of those problems for me and gave me my independence back. It's so comfy and easy to use too- worth every penny.I can't recommend highly enough!!”
“Product very reliable and effective. Allows you to get around while being productive, which is invaluable as I fractured my foot and I cannot put weight on it for a while after surgery.”
