While the iWALK hands free crutch works for most people, it isn’t for everyone.

Basic Ability Guidelines

If your patient could walk with normal unassisted gait prior to their injury, then they’re likely a good candidate for the iWALK crutch. Further, if they could go up or down stairs at normal walking speed, without requiring a handrail for balance or support, then they have the physical ability to succeed on iWALK crutch.
