Definitely takes a little time to get used to but once you do, it’s great. As an owner of a diner, there is no such thing as down time. This crutch had me back at work 8 days after breaking my ankle.

Unfortunately I broke my foot two weeks prior to shattering my knee. I wasn’t able to get and out of the car while wearing the brace.

I had a MACI transplant and Tibial Tubercule Osteotomy on August 8th, 2024 and on August 21st I started college. The estimated time on crutches was 8 to 10 weeks and I ended up being on crutches for over 12 weeks. By the second week of college, trying to get from class to class was killing me on crutches, that is when I found freedom leg. I decided to take the chance, and I'm glad I did. It came within the week, and I was using it within days. I still used one crutches, just because it made me feel the most sturdy, but the leg itself made my next 6 or so weeks much more enjoyable. I could keep it on all day with no problems and I was also able to carry things and be somewhat self sufficient. I 100% recommend getting the freedom leg as it was an absolute life safer!!!

After having rotator cuff surgery and bicep repair, and then needing a meniscus root repair, crutches were literally killing me. The Freedom Leg brace, gave me relief of the pain caused by the crutches and allow me to move about taking care of myself and able to help with tasks of everyday household chores. It was the best and only decision I could make to survive this last surgery. Strangely, my physical therapist said no, but my orthopedic surgeon said yes, that it did meet the non-weightbearing requirement.

I wrote a previous review that was only a qualified endorsement. After fully recovering from my Achilles tendon break I want to update my assessment.

I am very grateful to have had the Freedom Leg. It essentially allowed me to live without great difficulty. It DID take a bit of effort to master, but was WAY better than the alternative. I eventually was able to walk on uneven ground at a decent pace, without cane. in short, it gave me my life back. I invite you to read my previous post, which I am impressed that the Freedom Leg people did not suppress. It documents how there was an initial difficulty but it was well worth the effort to master the "Leg". I recommended it to my orthopedic clinic.

Quick and concise review. The freedom leg was a bit difficult to fit properly. Once I figured it out the first couple days were difficult then it clicked and now moving around is so much better. I can go up and down stairs. Carry my 5 year old boy.(which is the primary reason I wanted to try this) thank you to who ever designed this product. You would see my tears if I could post a video. The freedom leg is worth it, give it a couple days and you won't regret it!

Love the ability to get around with free use of both hands. Able to prepare and serve meals that would be an impossibility with crutches. Able to use the stairs without hopping and trying to carry crutches. One issue I struggle with is trying to get my braced leg short enough that my hips are level with the foot clear of the floor. I’ve tried different length adjustments, but feel I need a shoe with added lift to properly level the hips.

After 2 days on a scooter my knee was raw & bleeding. This arrived & provided relief & I could walk with 0 weight on my lower leg & ankle! Took a few minutes to figure out the right adjustments & learning to move around but then it was off to the races!! “Freedom” leg truly gives you freedom & independence you would not have otherwise! BRILLIANT device!!!! I’m

Freedom Leg 3.0

The gentleman who called me back when I left a message, was exceedingly helpful and I am grateful.
Like any other new device, I had to get used to it. But, I appreciate that I was able to walk...that was awesome.
It was on sale too, which was great. I have crutches, the knee scooter, and a wheelchair...and I really wanted something different.
Freedom Leg to the rescue!!!!!
Thank you guys!

I have Charcot's foot from neuropathy and supposed to be 0 weight bearing on my foot. I almost killed myself with crutches, could only hop a short distance with a walker, and the knee roller is useless unless you have someone doing everything for you. I like the concept of the Freedom Leg but I ordered too long of a brace and had to send it back. I'm awaiting the short brace and look forward to mobility success.

Roger at Freedom Leg Brace tried so hard to help me fit the brace. It is extremely well made. The instructions are clear. Roger even took the time to create a different thigh cup for me, but sadly I am just too short to make it work for me. My daughter who is 5’6”, put it on, and was able to walk off. So, I know it works. I have nothing but recommendations for someone facing ankle surgery to try it and see if it will work. It will set you free.

I had an hour with a physical therapist to learn walking on the brace prior to my surgery. It is amazingly easy to get used too. I will be pretty confident on it and I’m 63, my balance isn’t the best but I am so glad I bought this to give me freedom in a few weeks after surgery

Hi,

I purchased the Freedom Leg, and the quality of the brace is to notch.
It didn't work out for me, and I returned it. No hassle at all,
so don't be afraid to try it!

Love the Freedom Leg brace it allows me to be much more mobile and be able to go up and down stairs much safer after my foot surgery with no weight bearing on my foot, excellent product my surgeon an therapist were so impressed with it I think they will be referring it to their new patients.

Freedom Leg 3.0

Absolutely well worth the investment. I highly recommend!!! Yay!!! I can do all things, except drive.

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!

This got me off the knee scooter. With my knee hurting this was perfect. It will take time to learn how to adjust it but it’s a winner

Freedom Leg 3.0

This is awesome, it's easy to assemble, to use and to adjust when needed.
I get so many looks from People using walkers, canes or in wheelchairs and sometimes when I see people use crutches (very rare).
They are wondering what the heck it is and how cool it is and I guess maybe wishing they had one. I explain how easy it is to use the price it is. It's just great. It's all I can say about it. Thank you for inventing it and it makes my life so so much easier. It's especially great if you have animals with tails because crutches a walker or wheelchair. Even that knee scooter thing can run over those little hairs on their tails and it's not a good thing. With the freedom leg 3.0 I don't have that problem. They're not afraid of it and that's wonderful.
I needed this for recovery from a 4 hr major foot surgery that I couldn't bear any weight on it and had to wear a boot.
So thanks again.
I love this thing and I can't see why everybody doesn't have one but then again not everybody's heard about them. I just stumbled across it and I'm glad I did.
Thank you thank you!!

I have been laid up for 7 months with a compound fractured ankle and was praying this would be the item that would save my leg. But do to a factory defect it did not work for me. I believe that placing a metal brace on the lower calf in the back would help with fitting and avoid problems which I experienced. I do highly recommend this item to anyone that has lost their use if their leg due to any type of accident When returning said item the person I spoke to would nor believe that their was a defect in the item that was shipped and it cost me an extra $50 to return the item. He was very rude and not helpful at all.

I got it before my foot fusion surgery so I could get used to using it. So far it's perfect, I'm glad I found this. It was easy to put together and put on. Walking with it is pretty easy too. I'm practicing getting out of chairs and off of a couch. It's a little tough because those are soft, harder furniture is easy.

Game changer for a lifestyle of non weight bearing
