“My sister bought me the I-Walker 3.0 which has given me a taste of freedom and independence that I was craving after breaking my ankle.
The I-Walker was easy to assemble, and to put on. After no time at all I was able to get from A to B, have my hands free, move about upright and even carry items.”
“This product allows non-weight bearing lower extremity patients to regain independence quickly in the rehab process and lead to exceptional functional outcomes without risking upper extremity damage from normal crutches.”
“What a great device. I had my ankle fused last week and was dreading hopping everywhere with my crutches, then I discovered this unique knee crutch. Wow! almost immediately I felt free, able to walk without load bearing my ankle. On the second day of use, I was walking completely hands free, able to use the rest of my body as it would be normally. Looking forward to walking outside as soon as the snow disappears.”
“Makes a huge difference in being able to regain independence during a non weightbearing period. It does take a bit of getting used to, and I found it only really possible to use for short continuous periods, upto about 30mins - 1 hour before needing to take a break, as it is quite hard on the knee joint. Still a lot easier than traditional crutches and definitely worth the investment for long periods of non weightbearing.”
“If you have ever had to have standard crutches you will know how hard they are to use, how uncomfortable they are, and how hard it is to keep mobile.
I was unstable on crutches and worried I would damage my good leg.
I can do most tasks albeit at a reduced pace to with my fully functional leg by using the iWalk.
The iWalk 3.0 has been a life saver with my very ruptured achilles.
Would recommend to anyone with compatible leg injury.”
“This crutch is amazing. I cannot praise it more. I was in a similar situation in 2018 and had normal crutches. It was exhausting. This time, I’m able to get out and about and stay mobile. It’s fantastic. It doesn’t take long to assemble and adjust and it’s easy to fit.
It took a day or two to get used to it but now, it’s easy! I’m glad I found it.”
“If you have broken your foot or ankle this is the thing for you - it made my life bearable through a really really tough injury.
I am now tentatively walking again after shattering my talus (a bone in your ankle) and this knee crutch was an absolute game-changer. I had a mountain biking accident about 15 weeks ago and broke my talus, shoulder, elbow, and ribs - it sucked - I couldn't walk but I also couldn't use crutches to get around because of the broken shoulder and elbow. The first week of the injury I basically couldn't do anything and needed to hop everywhere in a lot of pain when I needed to move. A friend mentioned she had seen Harrison Ford on some mad knee crutch thing so I looked it up and it turned out to be this. It was pretty expensive (about £187) but I bought it anyway because I knew I had a very long road ahead. It was honestly the best decision I made throughout the course of my recovery - I could suddenly get into the kitchen, get to the shops, carry things while walking, get up stairs, I even went to our work summer party and was able to stand up for the majority of the evening nursing a pint (only one pint, it seemed risky to be on one leg and drinking!). Getting up stairs was sketchy at first but once you got the technique down (slowly up, backwards down) it was very manageable. You are unlikely to be covering a lot of distance on this but I was easily able to get to the shop and back which is probably over 1km round trip. There was a bit of chafing from the straps which is solvable with extra foam I nabbed from my bike helmet.
If you have the money, get this, it made life much less miserable.”
