More Details

iWALKFree is an alternative to traditional crutches, allowing its users:
* self sufficiency through the full use of their arms and hands
* increased opportunity to take an active part in their lives and their rehabilitation

Product Design
The Crutch has been designed to be comfortable, lightweight, and compact. It is fully adjustable to meet the needs of adults and young people of varying height. Only one model available.

iWALKFree is constructed of UV resistant and hypoallergenic materials, and comprises 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
* 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
* 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
* 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 (all straps can be flipped for right or left handed use)
. install beam cap

To Check for Proper Fit:
When walking with iWALKFree, the user should be able to swing their leg freely front to back without catching it on the ground. If the leg can't move freely, then iWALKFree is too long, and needs to be readjusted
