iWALK3.0 Hands Free Crutch - Pain Free Knee Crutch - Alternative to Crutches and Knee Scooters for Below the Knee Non-Weight Bearing Injuries Only

Product Information

Crutches help you stand, walk and move without putting your full weight on your recovering leg, knee or ankle. If you’re wearing a boot or cast on your foot or ankle, follow these steps the same way, just don’t put more weight on your foot than your healthcare provider says you can.

Step down with your recovering leg to meet your crutches. Put even pressure on your crutches’ handgrips for support then bring your strong leg down to meet your recovering leg. Step up with your strong leg. Keep your recovering leg lifted and slightly behind you as you move up. When it comes to functional mobility there’s no comparison – the iWALK3.0 out-performs all crutch options, knee scooters and knee walkers hands down, and hands-free!

Crutches provide temporary support if you’re struggling to balance or need to take weight off of one, or both, of your legs.

iWALK2.0 debuted at the largest medical device show in North America, Medtrade. It swept the board, scooping all the awards, an accomplishment never previously achieved. The following year it did it again. Sports injuries: All kinds of injuries from sprains, to ACL tears or a torn meniscus can require you to use crutches while you recover. Partial weight baring or a certain percentage: Your healthcare provider will say you can use a certain percentage of your weight — like 50% or 80%. This isn’t usually a literal amount that you can’t go above — it’s more like a guide to help you understand how much you can use your recovering leg. Picture putting that amount of your usual weight down as you stand, walk and move. With one hand on a crutch handgrip and the other on your seat, push yourself up to a standing position. Make sure to use your strong leg as much as possible.

Going down stairs can be harder than walking up stairs, especially if you’re still getting used to your crutches. Go slowly and make sure your strong leg is safely on the step below you before shifting your weight or moving down. Always rest your weight on your arms using the handgrips. Don’t lean on the top of the crutches under your arms.
