If you're going to spend money on an ambulatory device for below-knee issues, this is the one. It takes a few minutes-to-hours of practice, but the iWalk gives so much more function. Knee walkers/carts give your hands and wrists a break from crutches or walkers. They are also very fast if you have hard floors and space (think Walmart isle), but they are hard to turn around in an average home without bumping furniture, and it's almost impossible to maneuver up to the kitchen or bathroom counter. Plus, they are not hands-free. The iWalk puts you upright, allows you to turn on a dime, the same as if you were able-bodied, and allows you to carry items with both hands. Once the initial setup adjustment is made, it straps on and off your leg in seconds. Stairs are a breeze, no more lugging that cart up and down while hopping on one foot. I've found that I can go anywhere by myself. Strap it on, go out to my vehicle, sit on the edge of the seat, take it off and put it on the passenger side, drive away. In a big-box store, I do use a handicap cart, carrying my iWalk in the basket. When I'm ready to leave, my iWalk allows me to carry my purchases and walk out to my vehicle. Do make sure you are a candidate for this device. If you do not fall with the manufacturers guidelines, you shouldn't attempt it. And that from a risk-taker.Read full review

Unless a person has extremely good balance, I would not recommend this product. When trying to learn to use it, I found that unless my body was in the perfect position, I was unable to stand, let alone walk, without holding onto a counter for balance. The iWalk is "permanently" attached to your leg while in use, and if you lose your balance, it would be impossible to disengage from it if you lost your balance. In my opinion, this could lead to additional injuries if the user fell.

I was using the iWalk2.0 previously and thought I'd give the upgrade a chance. Well, I liked 2.0 but the 3.0 version is 100% better for me. It's funny because the design is fundamentally the same but the little ergonomic tweaks make a huge difference. The pads on the straps are thicker and easier to take on and off, the leg adjustments are different, the knee pad is thicker, the "foot" is wider, and I don't remember what else. Lots of little things that add up to a great experience. I'm finally getting a surgery after nine months off my foot and the iWalk has been an invaluable tool, allowing me to move around and do things using both hands, unlike the crutches or knee scooter. It's the most like walking of all.

Absolutely awesome product, super easy to use and the benefit is priceless. If you need to keep your weight off your foot,in order to recover, don't think it twice, the only thing I regret is not getting sooner 😁👍👍🌞

Absolutely love it, got my life back months before I was allowed weight bearing. I still only used it around the house, if I was going to an appointment or PT I took my crutches but if I would have been doing more I most certainly would have worn it out. Crutches take your hands away, iWalk gives them back. I don’t know how people can say they couldn’t use it unless they either didn’t try, fear or didn’t have it adjusted properly..I’m almost 59 and I had NO issues, I used my crutches the first 10 steps or so then I was fine on the iWalk alone. After 5 minutes I was very comfortable on it. I would recommend getting used to it before you need it if possible, that would obviously be the way to go
