Home Climbing Wall With One Leg and iWalk 2.0 Crutch; Broken Foot
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I broke my foot and had to have surgery a week ago. I've been using an iWalk knee crutch instead of a knee scooter or normal crutches. It was cheaper to purchase it outright than to rent a knee scooter from a medical supply place for 8 weeks. The iWalk 2.0 was easy to get used to in terms of balance. It feels little bit harsh walking around with a fixed straight leg, but the benefit of having hands free and being able to get around while carrying stuff has been great--something that is difficult with a knee scooter or normal crutches.
Decided I better try it out on the climbing wall today, just because. Probably not going to be doing much of this in the future since I was pretty scared about falling backwards on my exposed foot, but it had to be done. The prosthetic foot on the end of the device has a Vibram sole with a pretty sharp edge to it, so sticking to moderate indoor footholds is quite simple.
