Fig 5.1 All three straps tightened and in the correct position

Testing 1-2-3

Now that you’ve successfully strapped the

iWALKFREE

to your leg, we can do a quick test to

see if you’ve properly adjusted the knee platform height.

While standing with most of your weight on your uninjured leg, you should be able to swing the

iWALKFREE

front to back without the rubber tread (foot) hitting the ground. Note that it

should come very close to the ground without actually making contact. Figures 6.1 and 6.2
below show correct and incorrect knee platform height.

Remember to use a handrail or similar

for stability until you get used to the device.
