“I have been pleased with my I walk overall and has helped me with mobility pretty well - simply being able to move round the house and shops carrying things has made a big difference after my ankle fracture
Its very sturdy and quite easy to put together and adjust
A couple of niggles - so far the mobility has been nothing like as smooth and easy as is shown in the videos after 2 weeks with it in use - its quite heavy and ponderous - I’m a pretty fit individual and am mostly still using it with one elbow crutch outside, 2 on rough ground but on its own in the house. This is. I can’t walk any great distance outside in mine
I bought some memory foam for my knee which has helped a lot - not sure why it doesn’t come with this
Top black strap is continuously loosening off and needs pulled in all the time between uses
Overall its been useful but I think the web video with the women taking a child off a slide are a bit unrealistic for most people !”
“The knee crutch has allowed me to have so much more independence, whilst I am recovering from ankle surgery. It is easy to set up and surpassingly quick to get the hang of.”
“This bit of equipment is a game changer especially around the house, it gives you hands free independency. It is very comfortable once fitted correctly. Highly recommended especially for the price”
“It will give you hands free independence, it imposes no stress on your upper body and will save your sanity and those of you you live with who would normally have to look after your needs if you were using standard crutches.”
“Great device that has really helped me out since I found and ordered one. Still mostly using a Strideon scooter around the house but that is only for quick convenience against putting the iWalk on and off.
The instruction videos to put the iWalk together, make adjustment to fit, and take first steps are very well put together in simple to follow and pause stages.
Getting started walking was very quick and easy - my video was taken within the first five minutes of trying.”
“A gamechanger when compared with crutches. It won't cure you but it gives you an independence which is so important. Even my hospital physiotherapists were impressed!”
“I've very recently had an operation on my left ankle which required a soft pit for the first 5 days and then a full pot for a number of weeks. This meant no weight bearing for quite a while. Prior to the op I ordered the IWalk l, set it up and practiced so I knew what to expect. The instruction videos were easy to follow and it was full set up within 30 minutes.
It's the absolute best thing for your independence especially if you live alone. I know it's expensive but definitely worth it to get your life back to some kind of normality. I would definitely recommend to others.”
