This genius device is by far the best mobility option available and it is not even close! I've had every mobility device imaginable and the Freedom Leg is in a category by itself. Literally the first time I ever tried it I was mobile and hands free. Yes, there is a slight learning curve to become really comfortable because this is something new that you are experiencing. But literally my first walk was successful and so freeing emotionally. Hands free and mobile immediately, what a joy when you are immobile otherwise. If you are on the fence about this product please look at as many reviews and videos as you can because you'll really be doing yourself a favor. Yes, it costs a lot but it is worth every penny. You really can't put a price on the freedom this device gives you. Plus, it is usually covered by your insurance. Just message the staff at Freedom Leg to get the medical device number and give that to your insurance and they can look it up to see if it is covered, most likely it will be. This is what I did it was covered 100%. Even if it is not, this will be one of the best investments you'll ever make. Any money you've spent on crutches, scooters or any other walking device is really just wasted money. Once you use the Freedom Leg you will understand completely. And look at it this way, once you throw away all those other useless things, which you will definitely do, you'll be clearing up some room in your house to do things while wearing your Freedom Leg...
