Frequently Asked Questions
Usage FAQ
Q: I have a distal fibula fracture. I’m a 164 cm (5'4.5") woman. Will this feel heavy to wear? Can I use it on stairs?
A: Yes. There is usually a short learning period at the beginning, so we recommend practicing according to the instruction video before using it independently. Once you become comfortable and confident walking with it, you can gradually practice going up and down stairs. The crutch itself weighs approximately 1.58 kg (3.5 lbs). You may notice some extra weight on your leg at first, but most users find it feels much easier after they become familiar with the walking technique.
Q: What is the maximum weight capacity?
A: The maximum recommended user weight is 100 kg (220 lbs). Proper fit also depends on your thigh circumference and lower-leg length.

Q: I have a tibia fracture. Can I use this crutch to walk without putting weight on my injured foot?
A: The device is designed to keep the injured lower leg and foot elevated off the ground while walking. The height can be adjusted according to your lower-leg length so that the foot remains suspended. It does require practice at first. Once you are comfortable with the device and have good balance, everyday walking and stair use can become much easier.
Q: Which part of the body supports the weight when wearing it? Does the thigh do most of the work?
A: Your upper leg helps lift and move the device forward, while the support platform carries much of the load from the bent leg. Your hips, core, and waist also work together to help maintain balance and control while walking.
Q: Will using this hands-free crutch cause lower-back pain?
A: The support position is somewhat similar to resting the leg on a seat while moving. Your core and surrounding muscles work together during walking, which helps distribute the effort across the body. However, comfort can vary from person to person, especially during the first few uses. Proper height adjustment and gradual practice are important.
Q: Will it rub against my upper thigh or groin area?
A: Normally, no. The device can be adjusted according to your lower-leg length and leg position. When the height and straps are adjusted correctly, it should sit comfortably without rubbing against the upper thigh or groin area.
