Leg length is another sizing factor. Measuring from the crotch to the floor a length between 25.75 to 38 inches provides the best comfort for the user. An upper leg length measured from the crotch to the bended knee between 12 and 18 inches is optimal, while for the lower leg, measured from the floor to the bended knee a length between 13.75 to 20 inches is best.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the iWalk 3.0 be used with a cast or boot?
A: In most cases the answer is yes. It is very common for people to wear a boot or cast when using this device. There are some situations that this may not work, but in general, the iWalk is designed to be used with boots or casts.

Q: Will the iWalk 3.0 hurt the user's knee?A: No. There is a common misconception that the user is kneeling on the knee during use. This is not the case. Only the shin comes in contact with the platform. When the knee is bent 90 degrees, the patellar region is not in contact with the platform and thus does not bear any direct weight when using the device.

Q: Can the user walk down or upstairs when using the iWalk 3.0 crutch?
A: Yes. Navigating stairs on conventional crutches is dangerous and strenuous, but taking the stairs is one thing that can be done with ease when using this crutch. There is no need for a knee scooter or other supplementary product to help maneuver.
