Goodbye Crutches

The next generation of hands-free mobility!!
Lightweight, durable, comfortable and inexpensive, the world's best selling hands-free crutch got even better

Conventional crutches cause discomfort by putting unnatural pressure on your hands and underarms. Conventional crutches cause chafing, can rub the skin under your arms raw, cause irrepairable nerve damage, and easily fatigue your hands and arms. Basically, conventional crutches make the simple act of getting around a strenuous chore. iWALK 2.0 can end all of this unnecessary pain and discomfort.

Instead of bearing the weight in your arms, your weight is transferred to your shin. Note – while it may appear that the weight is supported by the knee while using the iWALK 2.0, this is not the case, so goodbye crutches! Your knee doesn’t bear any weight when using iWALK 2.0. The iWALK 2.0 functions under a similar principle as a knee scooter, where you kneel on a platform to support your weight. Unlike other crutch alternatives, the iWALK 2.0 provides this comfort in addition to unsurpassed mobility on many types of terrain, making it the obvious choice in comparison to other crutch alternatives.

For lower leg injuries including:

• Achilles injuries (Achilles Tendon Surgery, Torn Achilles tendon, Achilles tendon rupture)
• Foot/ankle sprains and fractures
• Foot ulcers
• Diabetic ulcers
• Bunion surgery
• Tibia/Fibula fractures
• Most lower leg non-weight bearing injuries
• Plantar fasciitis treatment

Walking the dog, doing dishes, cooking, carrying a cup of coffee, making copies, pushing a shopping cart – simple tasks, right? Not on crutches. There are a myriad of things we do every day that require use of our hands and arms. Choosing the iWalk 2.0 as your substitute to the discomfort of crutches means a lower leg injury won’t restrict your daily activities. Regain your independence with the iWALK 2.0. For most people suffering lower leg, foot and ankle injuries, the answer is YES! iWalk 2.0 is a great way to improve your qualify of life during your rehabilitation. That said, since every physique and every injury is unique, we recommend that you always consult with your health care professional before using the iWalk 2.0.

If you have a lower leg, ankle or foot injury that is required to be non-weight bearing during recovery, then, in most instances, iWalk 2.0 will work for you. Typical injuries include (but are not limited to) any sprain, strain, fracture, dislocation or surgery to the lower leg, ankle or foot. Common conditions we experience are sprained ankles, fractures of the lower leg, foot or ankle, Achilles tendon injuries and surgeries, foot surgeries such as bunion or foot ulcer correction. iWalk 2.0 is also useful as a gateway device during prosthetic limb transition periods or as a shower / swim prosthetic for users of permanent prosthetic limbs. In short, if you’ve sustained an injury to your lower calf, ankle or foot, and you need to be non-weight bearing, then iWalk 2.0 can be used instead of conventional crutches.

iWalk 2.0 Handless Crutch Testimonials:

"IT'S A LIFE CHANGER"
"My doctor prescribed it to me"

I have been on the iWALK2.0 for six weeks and was on crutches for one week before that. My life on crutches was horrible, I have carpal tunnel so it was very painful. I had to crawl upstairs and downstairs and I couldn’t walk my kids to school. With the iWALK I was able to get out of my car, cross the street holding my kids hands and walk up to their classroom. The crutches were also painful under the arms where the iWALK is not uncomfortable. If anything, there was no discomfort.

If I saw someone walking around on crutches I would highly recommend the iWALK, it’s a life changer! Crutches are very painful and I don’t think anybody wants to be on crutches and with the iWALK you are able to take care of yourself. I am able to move around the house, I am able to get up and move around freely to take care of my six kids. My doctor prescribed it to me and he was very excited about it so I really wanted to jump on it and see what it was like. I wanted to walk around and be pain free because the crutches were very painful. It’s very stable. Thank you, whoever invented this!

"The iWALK2.0 gave me back my independence…and created a local sensation!"

My only regret about the iWalk Free is that I didn’t discover its existence earlier! I broke my left ankle in two places and required surgery, after which I was not allowed to put weight on the ankle for six weeks. I spent five of those weeks on regular crutches, dependent on others for simple things like making an omelette or carrying a cup of coffee from the kitchen to the couch. I watched sadly as my upper leg muscles, as well as my lower ones, withered away from lack of use. At the same time, my “good” right leg’s knee was developing all kinds of aches and pains from bearing all my weight, especially going up and down stairs. By the end of the fifth week, the right knee was in agony and my shoulders and back were starting to hurt from bearing the weight on the crutches.

The day I found out about the iWalk I discovered a seller in my area and arranged to get one. It only took about ten minutes to adjust it to my height and to learn to walk with it. Another ten minutes later, I had mastered going up and coming down the stairs – so much easier than with crutches! The following day I was feeling a bit of an ache in my left upper leg – it was the quad and hamstring muscles coming back to life after weeks of disuse. I was glad that the iWalk allowed me to start to work these muscles again. Even though I couldn’t bear weight on the ankle, with the iWalk, I could bear weight in the upper leg and hip again. This took a lot of the pressure off the right leg and knee as well, making stairs in particular a lot easier to manage.

Because my driving foot was not affected, I was able to drive throughout my recovery, and once I got the hang of quickly clipping and unclipping the iWalk, it was a cinch to remove it once I got in the car and put it back on when I reached my destination. One day I wore it to my children’s school and gathered a crowd of youngsters around me wanting to know about my “pirate leg.” I was the centre of attention.

This happened again just a day later when I wore the iWalk to my 6-week follow-up appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. At the hospital several envious pairs of eyes were on me as I skipped the line waiting for wheelchairs at the entrance (there was a shortage) and iWalked it to the orthopedic clinic. Once there, everyone who had a crutch with them was staring at me. I fielded several questions about the iWalk, including how it works and where to buy it. Then I started chatting with a woman who had been hit by a truck – in addition to her broken ankle, she had bruises on her face and had suffered a concussion! I explained to her how the iWalk had made stairs so much easier for me. As we waited, she and her husband Googled iWalk and saw all the amazing videos that show how easy it is to use. I told them that if my doctor gave me the go-ahead to start putting weight on my ankle again, I would sell my iWalk to them. Shortly after that, the doctor did tell me to start walking on my ankle again, and my long rehab began. I was a bit sad to say goodbye to my trusted friend the iWalk, but I knew I had to start putting one foot in front of the other again. And I was glad to see that it would go on to help someone else.

"The iWALK2.0 truly saved me from a deep depression!"

In July, I broke my fibula while hiking with my dogs. When the doctor said "surgery and no weight bearing for 6-8 weeks"—-well, I was despondent. My husband works full-time and couldn't really stay home to take care of me, bring me food, do laundry, etc. We live on a remote ranch and our dogs and horses are used to lots of interaction and exercise, mostly from me. The thought of weeks on the couch was extremely depressing. 

I was also scared about overwhelming my already hard-working husband; he was facing having to take over all of my daily duties, which are numerous. I knew crutches wouldn't provide real freedom, and a knee scooter wouldn't work on our terrain or allow me to use my hands. 

We were so excited to find the iWALK2.0! I was a little nervous at first but immediately realized that I didn't need to be. It was easy to learn, allowed me to do my regular activities and chores, and gave me a feeling of self-sufficiency. That is a big deal when you are injured. Little things like carrying a plate or a dog bowl, or helping make dinner become hugely important. 

The iWALK2.0 truly saved me from a deep depression. If I hadn't had the ability to move around and use my hands, I would have really suffered. The immobility would've been worse than breaking my leg. The iWALK2.0 is an amazing tool and I highly recommend it.

"I can play outside with the kids and I have played 18 holes of golf on the iWALK2.0"

I have been using the iWALK2.0 for a month now and love it! It is too bad that I have another two months to go before I can put weight on my foot but at least it will be easier with the iWALK!

I saw a gentleman using the iWALK at the doctors office and I thought "he has a peg leg, that's crazy!" We went into an exam room; the doc came in and asked how I liked the crutches. I told him that they are a pain, here I was and I could not carry anything, could not open doors (easily) and my armpits and wrists were very sore from using the traditional crutches. That's when my doctor told me about the iWALK2.0 and that I should go online and get it. For work I need to walk around various terrain and the crutches hindered my mobility. The scooter, while fast on flat hard surfaces, looked heavy and would be very awkward to get in and out of my truck and would not work around job sites when I needed to go see them. The other downfall to the scooter is it "rents" for $150.00 for six weeks. I need something for three months abd that would be around #300 bucks! With the iWALK2.0 I could own it forever for only $149!!!

I purchased my iWALK2.0 and had it overnighted, I wanted it ASAP! I received the package in the mail and it took just 5 minutes to assemble. I was free of regular crutches! The adjustment or fitting process was simple. It took a few tries to get it adjusted to feel like it was your leg, but once it is dialed in there is no need to adjust anything but the straps when wearing different clothes.

I have used my iWALK2.0 for various projects around the house i.e. mowing, edging, taking the garbage cans out, I even helped a neighbor install a water heater (we had to carry the old one out and the new one in!). I can play outside with the kids and I have played 18 holes of golf on the iWALK2.0.
