Walking with the iWalk 2.0 will take practice in order to get the feel for relaxing your leg, allowing the iWalk 2.0 to do it's job. This can cause some muscle fatigue with initial use, but should get better with practice. As demonstrated, the iWalk 2.0 will typically need to be put on and taken off in standing.

Caution and practice is recommended on stairs, especially when going down stairs. Use of a rail is highly recommended. For the right persons, the iWalk 2.0 is a great alternative to crutches or a knee scooter, allowing the user hands free functional mobility during the recovery of a below the knee injury.

I have the 3.0....this video is EXTREMELY helpful!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us!

[johnbarker]

Thank you so much for the demonstration. I just ordered one and expecting to use it frequently until I get my permanent prosthesis.

I just ordered the IWalk 3.0 today as I have upcoming ankle surgery. I plan to practice prior to my surgery so that I am ready to go when the time comes. Thank you so much for demonstrating all the ways to use it safely. I appreciate you 👍🏽

Had ankle surgery on 10/31/18...I've been out with my iWalk 2.0 twice now and love it. Take the dog for a brief walk and out to lunch with friends. Great freedom, though it must be taken off in the car and while sitting. Totally recommend one, I'm a 61 year old woman and find it quite easy to adjust to.

Thank you so much for the demonstration!!

[michaelacomptonmusic]

Thanks for ❤ my one of comments having surgery soon on my ankle and just got an iwalk the video is really helpful

[jobielifehappens]

So helpful! Mine arrives today! Wish me luck!

I’ve been using this off and on for about 5 years with a non healing break in my leg. I’ve since had a below the knee amputation and have been using it until my prosthetic is finished. I found it easier to learn to use with regular crutches or a walker at first until I found my balance with it. It’s a great product though.

Just got mine today. Thank you for showing me how to navigate stairs! I'm not super strong in my hands or arms and had trouble scooting up and down stairs. Lack of strength made standard crutches treacherous too. So far I'm loving this device! ❤

[marygreene]

Thanks for your tips going up and down stairs and sitting.

[JanetACole]

Seeing my surgeon & PT tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks much for this video. Very helpful. I bought a used iWalk 2.0 for my upcoming left ankle surgery, and was hoping it would be a good alternative to the scooter in some circumstances. I failed to take one thing into account...I have bursitis in my right hip. Yowza. Just love this aging process. :)

[Iceman-xejo]

Been practicing for about a week or more now with it. Going back to work tomorrow using it. The one thing I have noticed it is very hard on my opposite hip. The uninvolved side.

[mafakefoot]

My prothesis for below knee amputation works ok with iwalk3.I would like to use with my stump only no prothesis.. but stump too short for provided ankle strap... Suggestion???!!!

[JanetACole]

Thanks for the video. I had foot surgery on the medial cuneiform with 3 screws implanted 5 weeks ago and non weight bearing. I’ve just started to try the iWalk 2.0 today but not very confident and had to use along with the walker that I’ve been using. Will I be able to do away with the walker soon and stick to the iWalk which I need to do things around my appartement and for the stairs as I live on a 2nd floor. Please advise. Thank you!

[xoxviolencexox]

Can this be used with a below the knee amputation?

[babalu-ociu]

Is there a video on how to get up non weight bearing from that chair? Thanks.

[pizzapartytime]

I can’t do this I don’t have balance but you know it’s fun watching.
