I don’t normally write reviews, however, this product absolutely deserves some praise! Being 3 days post op, having had my foot rebuilt with plates and pins following a sporting injury, I can honestly say this crutch has been an absolute god send! Being told I had to be non weight bearing for at least 3 months I was worried about being able to get about, I have very little upper body strength and the thought of being able to keep my foot elevated from the floor using elbow crutches filled me with dread. After some research and googling I came across the iWalk 2.0. My initial reaction was - yikes that’s a lot of money for something I have no idea if it works or is suitable. I went ahead anyway and the crutch was swiftly delivered two days before my operation. I set it up and had a little walk around the house using another crutch as a support. It took a little getting used to but after an hour of manoeuvring between the lounge and the kitchen, adjusting the crutch to match my height and gaining more confidence in the stability of it I decided to see how I would fair on the stairs. Thankfully I have a bannister that runs all the way up my stairs so using one hand on that and the other using an elbow crutch I was very easily and quickly able to reach the top without any fear of knocking my foot or putting any pressure on it whatsoever. Obviously the next step was to get down the stairs! Having considered going down forwards I decided this was a terrible idea and that I would have much more stability and balance going down backwards. Worked an absolute treat! The effort required is nothing compared to using just elbow crutches. Having been using it for the past 3 days I’m at a point where I can use just the iWalk without the aid of the elbow crutch for stability around the house. This has the benefit of me being able to carry things (drinks, food etc). Today I’ve taken my first steps outside with it, needing to go to the local shops. It certainly is a much speedier and safer option for getting around. I guess for me the only downside is the main crutch leg is fixed. Perhaps the designers could look at potentially making the main leg so that it can be folded down. I’m due to go to London in a couple of weeks and I can see this being a bit of a pain on the train (also getting in and out of cars) as it will have to be removed before you sit down and put back on when you get up. Although this activity isn’t difficult once you have the straps tensioned correctly, it could prove difficult on a busy moving train in a very limited space when you have limited time. Although making this leg foldable could cause some issues with the stability of the crutch I think it would be a huge benefit for people who need to use transport etc. I will certainly be wearing it when I go see my consultant to have my stitches removed and cast changed, although the NHS are unlikely to dish these out had I been given the option of renting one with a deposit (deposit being the cost of the crutch which you’d get back) then I’d have certainly snapped their hands off! All in all, would I purchase it again if I was to be non weight bearing for more than a month....absolutely! You can’t put a price on your freedom and this device certainly gives you that!
