About us
The iWALK hands-free crutch is the original, FDA-approved crutch that frees you from the limitations of conventional crutches and provides unsurpassed mobility. Just as our name implies, iWalkFree allows your patients to walk with their hands free. Physicians, you can now offer your patients unparalleled mobility and independence with the iWALK. The iWALK is the only crutch that delivers this exceptional level of mobility for individuals dealing with sprained ankles, Achilles injuries, broken feet or ankles, lower leg amputations, and other non-weight-bearing lower leg conditions. Your patients can experience enhanced mobility, perform day-to-day tasks, and regain their independence, making it an invaluable tool in rehabilitation. Independent clinical research has demonstrated that the iWALK crutch significantly reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), increases blood flow, and decreases venous stasis. These health benefits are critical in promoting a safer and more efficient patient recovery. By maintaining normal walking motion, the iWALK helps prevent complications associated with prolonged immobility, making it the superior choice. Moreover, 90% of patients who have used the iWALK crutch prefer it. Patients value maintaining their daily routines and activities without the cumbersome restrictions of traditional crutches, leading to higher satisfaction and better compliance with recovery protocols. Endorsed by surgeons, doctors, professional dancers from 'So You Think You Can Dance,' NFL players, NHL players, and numerous other individuals, the iWALK crutch has proven to be the go-to solution for staying active and mobile during recovery.

🦵 Understanding Stress Fractures: Causes, Symptoms, and Recovery 🦵 Did you know stress fractures are common in high-impact sports like running, gymnastics, and basketball? These small bone breaks can start with a dull ache but, if left untreated, can lead to more serious issues. Here’s what you need to know about stress fractures: 👉 Causes: Overuse, poor technique, insufficient conditioning, or even improper footwear can lead to these injuries. They’re more common in athletes but can affect anyone. 👉 Symptoms: Localized pain, swelling, and discomfort during activity are key indicators. Left untreated, these fractures can worsen, impacting daily life. 👉 Treatment: Rest is crucial! Mild cases might only need a walking boot, while severe cases could require non-weight-bearing treatment with crutches or advanced solutions like the iWALK hands-free crutch. 👉 Prevention: Gradual conditioning, proper equipment, and listening to your body are essential to reducing the risk of stress fractures. Stress fractures can take 6-8 weeks to heal, but choosing the right mobility aid can make a huge difference in your recovery journey.

Last week, I was sitting in a hotel lobby in #Chicago when an individual walked by using a cool #device that I have never seen before. For those of you who know me personally, it will come as no surprise that I introduced myself to a complete stranger to learn about this contraption. Well, my new friend Brian Butler educated me about iWALKFree, Inc. and said why don't you take a video of it, and so I did. And then of course I found their President Brad Hunter on LinkedIn to learn more. To my fellow #ER docs can you imagine if we could avoid crutch teaching in the ER??!!
