You can put the Freedom leg on and get around. You don’t have to worry about elbows and knees, giving out when you’re trying to use crutches. I recommend getting used to it like it’s a semi permanent, artificial limb.
I would like it if my toe was somehow secured in a position that it is pointed down because that would ensure that my NWB BOOT is never being stood up upon with even mild pressure. with continued practice I keep the heel back in the toe down. It is truly a game changer.
I received my freedom leg about a week ago after getting a very intensive ankle surgery. I am non weight bearing while i heal and it has allowed me to do things I can't on crutches while still keeping my foot off the ground. I can still carry things and have the use of my hands. It does have a small adjustment period getting used to the mechanics of using it. I am very happy with it now that I am able to get up and walk and not stuck trying to fumble around with crutches. The brace also allowed room for a post op boot.
Also I was surprised when I texted the website helpchat I was almost immediately called by the representative who answered all my questions and concerns. I give the company a great review.
Thank you freedom leg for a great product and great service!
I ordered but couldn't use it do to doctors orders.I have to be immobile non weight barking for 6 weeks.I mailed it back for a refund.
I had an ankle arthrodesis in early November and the first 4 weeks were brutal. I was told 12 weeks of non-weight bearing was minimum. I am very active and immobility doesn’t work well for me. I came across the Freedom Leg and decided to ask my surgeon if I could try it. He told me yes and to let him know so he can refer others. It arrived very quickly. I’m delighted that I decided to get this equipment. It’s easy for me to use. I’m able to go up and down stairs and can carry items in hand. I can also bend down, walk nice distances and resume daily activities without major limitations. If I could change one thing it would be the uncovered velcro pieces that stick to clothing. I ruined a pair of my favorite leggings but it is what it is. Highly recommend!
