About iWALKFree The first of its kind in the world, iWALKFree is a revolutionary hands-free crutch designed to meet the mobility needs of people with non-weight bearing lower leg injuries.
iWALKFree is a potent alternative to traditional crutches, allowing its users:
self-sufficiency through the full use of their arms and hands
the opportunity to take an active part in their lives and their rehabilitation The device supports the knee and upper leg using a universal, ambidextrous fastening system that allows for almost any adjustment for user height and leg size.
Personal Mobility It's comfortable, easy to put on, take off, and adjust. And takes little time to get used to. iWALKFree delivers to its users a remarkable level of mobility and freedom.

While these devices allow users some mobility, they all engage the arms & hands, further handicapping the user.

"In my personal opinion, the hands-free crutch would be of major benefit to the orthopaedic patient in the rehabilitative state." A. Dalton Registered Technologist (Orthopaed) Fracture Clinic, Orthopaedic and Arthritic Institute Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre

Product Design
iWALKFree… The Hands-Free Crutch has been designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and compact. It is easy to assemble and fully adjustable to meet the needs of adults and young people of varying height. It is strongly recommended that the device be adjusted by an accredited physiotherapist or orthopaedic technologist prior to its initial use.
iWALKFree is constructed of UV-resistant and hypoallergenic materials, and comprised of 4 simple parts:
one stable beam with tread
one supportive locking tray with strap
two comfortable padded straps with integral cam clips
To assemble and fit iWALKFree: trim the beam to equal the inseam measurement
1. with the user seated with leg bent at a 90-degree angle, measure the distance from the back of knee to the ground of the unaffected limb. This determines the height for the top of the tray
2. to attach the tray, unlock the front cam clip; disengage locking pin; slide tray onto the beam; lock pins; lock cam clip at the front of the tray
3. to attach the straps*, unlock cam clip of lower strap; slide onto beam just above knee; lock cam clip; repeat with upper strap; slide onto beam just below groin; lock cam clip
4. install beam cap *all straps can be flipped for right or left-handed use To Check for Proper Fit: When walking with iWALKFree, you should be able to swing your leg freely front to back without catching it on the ground. If you can't move it freely, then iWALKFree is too long, and needs to be readjusted

2. fasten lower strap to a snug, comfortable fit around leg just above knee
3. fasten upper strap to a snug, comfortable fit around leg just below groin
