Hands Free Crutches

iWalk 2.0 Hands Free Crutch

Hands-free mobility crutch substitute. Those suffering lower leg, foot and ankle injuries can resume their normal daily routines during rehabilitation. The bottom line is that losing the use of a lower leg, foot, or ankle should not also mean losing the use of your hands and arms.

The most obvious benefit of the iWalk 2.0 leg crutch in comparison to conventional crutches, is that it is hands-free. Hands-free means that there is no interruption to your normal day-to-day routine. It may sound basic, but it is a freedom that conventional crutches or other crutch alternatives (such as knee scooters) cannot provide.

We are the best hands free crutches alternative (no, we aren't just bragging) because the iWALK 2.0 makes it possible to do things like walking the dog, cooking, making copies, opening a door – simple tasks that take on a whole new level of difficulty when you use conventional crutches. With iWALK 2.0 as your crutch alternative, you can live the lifestyle you did before your injury.

• Easy, tool free assembly
• Adjustment accommodates users from 4' 10" - 6' 6"

FDA and CE certified, iWalk 2.0 will give your patient the freedom of movement that can’t be matched by crutches or knee scooters.

iWalk2.0 Hands Free Crutch User Testimonials:


"Just a quick note to thank you for the iWALKFREE. I had a very bad injury to my left foot and ankle: multiple 3rd/4th degree sprains, torn plantar fascia, etc. I was on crutches for 4 months before I stumbled onto the iWALKFREE (just searching around online). It changed the entire experience of my injury. Of course, the main thing was that I could be mobile and use my hands at the same time. After four months on crutches, just being able to carry a glass of water from one room to another was a wonderful extravagance. I used the iWALKFREE for another 6 months before I was able to walk again. I got very comfortable with it. I went hiking with it over lava beds in Hawaii. I learned to up and down stairs pretty quickly with it. I went dancing with it (and it was hilarious).

It really made a huge, positive difference in my healing process. Thanks very, very much."

"After 2.5 years of struggling to save a badly damaged leg, I elected to have the lower half of my right leg amputated. While I knew I would obtain a prosthetic leg, I already had well over 2 years of dealing with crutches and wasn't particularly looking forward to using crutches on and off for the rest of my life. After searching the Internet, I located iWalk-free.com and was simply amazed at what I found! This product wouldn't have changed my mind about the amputation, as I am extremely happy with my level of activity with my prosthetic, but I wish I had found the website years earlier. As I understand, these units were initial designed to help individuals with lower leg injuries (ankle, foot, etc) … but it is a God-send, in my opinion, for below-knee amputees!

When packing for any over-night trip, my 'crutch' is always right beside my luggage. When flying, I don't trust the airlines not to lose it, so it is one of my carry-on pieces.

At six months post-op, I had the opportunity to go on a short-term mission trip with my church. Every evening after taking off my prosthetic leg, I used the hands-free crutch to get to the shower, since I don't have a 'shower leg'. The facility we were in wasn't handicap friendly, but with the crutch, I had no problem getting around without my prosthetic leg.

Last summer while on vacation, I wore it on the beach and into the water so I could go snorkeling with my daughter. I was able to wade out into the surf, take off the crutch and secure it to a nearby railing. With the sturdy construction of the crutch, all I had to do afterward was dunk it in the fresh-water rinsing tank to clean the salt-water and beach sand off and let it drip-dry. (Without the crutch, I wouldn't have even attempted snorkeling, due to the prosthetic liner and socket system I use.)

When counseling new amputees, one of the first questions I am asked is "What all have you purchased to be able to cope as an amputee?". My answer is always:

1. A shower chair

2. A bed rail (so that I don't try to 'stand up' while still groggy and end up falling)

3. Hands-free crutch – so that I can still have total mobility, even without my prosthetic leg

I share about the hands-free crutch as much as I am able, and I consider it a privilege to share my story on this website."

"On July 19th; 8 screws and 4 hours later I was out of surgery, after a successful, 'open right ankle fusion'. On July 21st, I left the General Hospital in Ottawa without the aid of a wheel chair! 

My wife brought me my 'iWALKFREE' crutch; and after I demonstrated the COMPLETE FREEDOM & SAFETY I had in using your crutch; they allowed me to leave wearing it!!! I am now at home enjoying the freedom of my recovery period; thanks to you and your 'iWALKFree'. Words cannot express my gratitude."

"I crushed my leg a month ago when my horse fell on me, resulting in 'tib/ fib' fractures and 'no weight bearing' for (so far) five weeks. After three other stints on crutches before, the idea of a long crutch 'season' was beyond depressing. I saw a woman with a foot injury using a little scooter so I started looking for it online and came across IWALKFREE. I liked the idea of the hands-free crutch so much more than the scooter because it didn't require any use of your hands to operate or stabilize it and of course, the stairs can be navigated easily. 

I ordered it and couldn't WAIT to get it and did it deliver! I have a hobby farm with 10 horses and I am able to do all the chores (I couldn't even get out of stall mucking) because I no longer have my "lame excuse!"When I first got it, I used one crutch on the off side to help with balance and I still use the off side crutch when I go over uneven ground outside–but otherwise, once you get the hang of it, and the adjustment correct, it is so much easier and more comfortable than crutches. 

I wear it all day except to sit or drive. And people are always asking me to say 'Arrrrr' like a pirate when they see me coming. But it's brilliant. Thank you!!!!"

"I was in a motorcycle accident and broke my ankle and finger. Because I also needed a splint on my hand, I was unable to use conventional crutches. Thankfully, I found iWalkFree. With iWalkFree, my recovery has been drastically more convenient. 

I live in a two story house and the iWalkFree has allowed me to get up and down stairs with ease. I have been off my leg for five weeks now and I just can't imagine how hard this process would have been with out the iWalkFree."
