After a hideous fall with a dislocated ankle and fractured tibia/fibula, I was told I had to be 8wk of nonweightbearing following my surgery. As a busy mom and veterinarian, sitting on my sofa for a couple of months was not an option! After browsing the net, I decided to try the FreedomLeg. Honestly, at first, I thought I was going to return it. My first time walking with it was horrible - while I didn't fall, I thought I would. I watched numerous YouTube videos on fitting as well as starting to walk in it - and my immobility was not an option - so I persisted. Tried again the next day - was somewhat better - so I kept at it. By the 4th day, I ventured down my front steps on my own and haven't looked back. FreedomLeg allowed me to return to work weeks before I really expected to. After 5wk of using the FreedomLeg, my family and I even traveled cross-country (nonrefundable flights purchased pre-injury!) and I felt confident that I could enjoy our trip. I'm very thankful that I found FreedomLeg - and because of it, I had my mobility - and independence - back!
