The iWalk 2.0 is finally here. Losing your leg no longer means losing your life.
Hands-free mobility crutch substitute. Those suffering lower leg, foot and ankle injuries can resume their normal daily routines during rehabilitation. For most people suffering lower leg, foot and ankle injuries, the answer is YES! iWalk 2.0 handless crutch is a great way to improve your qualify of life during your rehabilitation. That said, since every physique and every injury is unique, we recommend that you always consult with your health care professional before using the iWalk 2.0.
Conventional crutches cause discomfort by putting unnatural pressure on your hands and underarms. Conventional crutches cause chafing, can rub the skin under your arms raw, cause irrepairable nerve damage, and easily fatigue your hands and arms. Basically, conventional crutches make the simple act of getting around a strenuous chore. iWALK 2.0 can end all of this unnecessary pain and discomfort.
iWalk 2.0 Features:
- Easy, tool free assembly
- Adjustment accommodates users from 4' 10" - 6' 6"
- Can be put on and taken off in seconds, and fits both left or right legs
- Weight capacity 300 lb
Typically used for (but not limited to):
- sprained foot or ankle
- foot or ankle fractures
- Achilles tendon rupture
- any lower extremity trauma
- amputation or diabetic foot ulcer
- permanent prosthetic gateway
- Bunion recovery
- swim and shower device
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. Instead of bearing the weight in your arms, your weight is transferred to your shin.
Note – while it may appear that the weight is supported by the knee while using the iWALK 2.0, this is not the case. Your knee doesn’t bear any weight when using iWALK 2.0. The iWALK 2.0 functions under a similar principle as a knee scooter, where you kneel on a platform to support your weight. Unlike other crutch alternatives, the iWALK 2.0 provides this comfort in addition to unsurpassed mobility on many types of terrain, making it the obvious choice in comparison to other crutch alternatives. Conventional crutches and alternatives such as knee scooters leave your entire injured leg and hip mostly dormant.
The iWALK 2.0 is the only crutch alternative that fully engages the muscles of your upper leg, thigh and hip when walking and standing which improves your motor function throughout and immediately after the rehabilitation period. Moving your leg increases blood circulation, which assists the body in healing. The additional comfort and efficiency of iWALK 2.0 will also induce you to be more mobile than you would be with other mobility assistance devices.
iWalk 2.0 Handless Crutch Testimonials:
"I want other surgeons to know about it"
Dr. William "Clark" Jernigan is a board certified Orthopaedic Surgeon from Greenville, SC with 29 years of experince.
I'm a 58 year old orthopedic surgeon. I recently sustained a plafond fracture which required surgery. I got your device today and after a very few minutes I love it! This device is going to enable me to operate again three weeks sooner than would have been the case withouth it.
Thank you to the inventor. I love engineering excellence and this product exudes excellence. I want other surgeons to know about it. If you want a testimonial I'll be glad to give you one."

“As a physician, I’ve never seen a device that does so much for the patient.”
"My husband recently suffered a lower leg injury and was facing a long non-weight bearing recovery using crutches and knee scooter. Life without the iWALK 2.0 was miserable; we were all in a really bad place. I wanted to cry every day. Then we found the iWALK 2.0 and everything changed.
A lot of medical conditions lead to depression, I see this in my practice all the time, and we were gearing up towards this, then he put on his iWALK 2.0 and he was back to his old self, enjoying himself, contributing to the family and back to work. He’s able to do pretty much everything except run.
It’s helped my life tremendously – I had to do everything, feed him, feed the kids, tend to his needs as he was physically incapable of doing it himself. It was miserable. I was looking at 12 weeks of this and thinking “I’m not going to survive this”. Day one on the iWALK 2.0 he was up doing normal things, helping me cook dinner, going upstairs, putting the kids to bed, things he used to do before. Now, he’s really happy, I’m happy, and everybody in our family is happy. You can hardly tell he’s hurt.
It’s wonderful for the family.
My husband is pretty athletic, so I wanted to try it myself to see how well it worked. It worked fine – I only had it on a couple of minutes and I went around the room, went up and down a few steps, walked on carpet, tile and concrete. It was easy.
I’m most excited about the mood change I saw in him. The boys named him “grumpy” (and they were right). He went from looking like he was in prison with his wheelchair and crutches, to right back to being his old happy and content self with the iWALK 2.0.
He’s back on the playing field with the kids. And we’re going camping this weekend - we’re going to stay in a tent! That would be impossible with crutches or a knee scooter.
As a physician, I’ve never seen a device that does so much for the patient."

“I will never be able to describe in worlds how much the iWALK 2.0 has done for me and my family."
The iWalk 2.0 is doctor approved!
Before the iWALK 2.0
On Labor day 2013 I ruptured my Achilles Tendon. Two days later, Ihad a major surgical repair of my tendon. I was given 12 weeks non-weight bearing for my left leg. For the first 2.5 weeks I used crutches and a wheelchair to get around.
Before my injury I was a very active person. I worked out 3-4 times a week, ran in a few Warrior Dashes, coached soccer, not to mention all of the daily household activities. Then I ruptured my Achilles and all of my activities came to a complete stop. I could get around on crutches and the wheelchair but that is it - I couldn’t do anything with my hands. It didn’t take long for the depression to start sinking in. My wife and two young boys could tell I was not the happy and energetic husband/father that I once was. I became more and more tired and irritable each day, but then I heard about the iWALK 2.0.
While Using the iWALK 2.0
The night I heard of the iWALK 2.0 I got online and Googled the contraption. When I found out it was only $149.00, it was a no-brainer to give it a try. A couple days later I was assembling the iWALK 2.0 and getting it to fit me just right. Within about 20 minutes I was taking my first steps in nearly 3 weeks. The freedom to walk hands-free and do so many simple things that I used to take for granted is something to cherish. My family could see the difference in my mental state starting that very first day. I was so happy to be able to walk and do things for myself and for my family. I was able to cook dinner that night, help with the cleanup, help get my kids ready for bed and then tuck them in for the first time since the injury. I am back to working out 3-4 times a week, coaching soccer and doing all my daily household activities. The Warrior Dashes will have to wait, but I can do almost anything I want except run. My recovery time will be dramatically less because of the mental and physical help the iWALK 2.0 has provided.
I will never be able to describe in words how much the iWALK 2.0 has done for my family and I. It gave me back a life that had been taken away from me. I have been able to go to an NFL game and maneuver the stadium with ease, and I even took my family on a camping trip and set up camp, tent, chairs, food and fire. I can once again go outside and throw the ball with my boys, play laser tag with them and go on an evening walk with my wife, kids and dog as a whole family. The iWALK 2.0 turned a temporarily life changing injury into just a couple months of wearing a really cool looking peg leg. People ask me about it everywhere I go and I never get tired of explaining it to them how great the device works for me. The iWALK 2.0 won’t change your life, it lets you keep the one you always had!
Thank you for developing this product.

SIX YEARS ON CRUTCHES
"With normal crutches, I had no hope!"
I just bought an iWALK2.0 and I am thrilled! I trully believe this crutch can improve the lives of many people!
I am 32 years old and have been on crutches for over five years. In 2008 I tore my achillis tendon while I was playing soccer. I had an operation that day. In the beginning everything went fine but then my lower leg got purple, cold and burned like fire. They sent me back to the hospital and tried different things but nothing worked. After 1.5 years of suffering and many doctor visits I was diagnosed with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type 2. The doctors said that there is almost no chance that it will get any better.
I discovered the iWALK2.0 through the biggest German newspaper (Bild). A friend of my mother saw a picture on which Harrison Ford was wearing the iWALK2.0. It had been almost six years since I had been able to walk. I started using it immediately and it worked very well. Since then I'm using the iWALK2.0 every day.
When I used normal crutches I had pain in my leg, both wrists and back, however, when I use the iWALK2.0 I have no pain or discomfort.
My quality of life increased a lot. I can take on more tasks of our housework. I even got married in May and we are thinking about having children. The iWALK2.0 gives me hope that I will be able to bring the kids to bed or to hold them when they're crying.
With normal crutches I had no hope that I could do any of these things. So I'm very glad that you invented the iWALK2.0 and made my normal life possible. It's given me back so much quality in life- thank you!

"THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT!" "Ditch the crutches and get an iWALK!"
As you know, it gets crazy around the holiday season. It's even crazier when you're a single dad of three kids and you just had reconstructive ankle surgery! Imagine seven weeks in a cast right through Thanksgiving and Christmas! Forutnately, I don't have to stand-by on the sidelines and spectate because I'm trapped by crutches. With my iWALK2.0 I'm in the middle of the festivites serving Thanksgiving turkey, picking-up my kids and even keeping up with my work. The iWALK2.0 is truly a revolutionary product. There is no way I would use nor recommend anything else for non-weight-bearing recovery for a lower leg problem.
Everyone who sees me comments about what a great device it is. I'm doing a little bragging of my own, too. A woman with a cast on her foot was trying to get around on crutches in a crowded room. I walked up to her (on my iWALK) and told her she needed to ditch the cruthces and get an iWALK. The look on her face was amazement and then jelousy! I gave her the iWALK-free.com website and I'm certain that she now has one of her own. A single-mom friend of mine who has four kids (including a two-year-old) has had three foot surgeries over the last two years. She has at least one more to go. She's dealt with crutches after every surgery. Not anymore! She saw my iWALK and swore she would never use crutches again.
This is a GREAT product!
Sincerely,
Scott- Orange, California
