Freedom Leg Looks About 1,000,000x Better than Crutches


Crutches. In a thousand years, their design hasn't fundamentally changed. And for something as minor as a sprained ankle or broken foot, the Freedom Leg looks like a welcome alternative.

A light, 2.5lb exoskeleton, the Freedom Leg moves all of your body weight from your injured foot to the prosthesis frame and your upper leg, meaning that you can walk pretty much like your used to while you heal up. And while I welcome resident doctors to list all of this product's flaws in the comments, to my pea brain, the idea seems so obvious and simple that it just might work.

looks like it would become uncomfortable .and how long can one use it before it starts to cut circulation off in your leg.

I agree that this might be a good alternative to traditional style crutches. However, I have used the Millennial Crutches and they are fantastic. They are the future of crutches. They have a spring shock absorber on the bottom, a comfortable ergonomic handle and they can easily fold down to put in the car! I am so impressed with the innovation of these crutches.
