Freedom Leg Replaces Crutches for Easier Mobility

Looks like a great product. But does it come in patriotic colors? How about with decals of a flying, flaming eagle carrying an American flag in its beak? That would be awesome.

It really doesn't look that comfortable, as you've got to really strap that thing on tightly. Chafing, anyone? I can see how it's got to be easier to move around with, though. Honestly, as cumbersome as crutches are (and that they take a little while to build expertise), they are pretty quick to pick up and go with, and they are handy to lean on when you need assistance getting up.

nffcnnr,

You see, the word "freedom" has a negative connotation to you which makes you a smirking, whiney troll. I bet your hate for George Bush keeps the fire inside you burning, guiding your thoughts and actions and making you see the world through a certain tinge of glasses. Obviously no one has yet put you in a cast so you have a better appreciation for some words over others.

This looks great. I worry about cut circulation in the thigh for larger people - Heavy set folks will induce quite a load in the upper thigh while standing on that thing, but for skinny people like me this is something that looks pretty good.
The concerns / questions I have are:

1) Heavy people getting cut off circulation in the thigh when walking too far
2) Serious bruising of the thigh in heavy people??
3) Can you leave it on all day? Or is there a time limit?

Overall this looks fantastic and I can see for teachers or others that need mobility, at a minimum they could use this part of the day during the times when they are most active - great, hands free movement.

I've personally tried the Freedom Leg and was impressed on how easy it was to learn and use.

Wiith regards to the concerns about the comfort, bruising, or irritation; it seems like it disburses the body weight over an adequate are to avoid those complications. I'm not as slim as I once one but it fit comfortably and worked great for me over an entire afternoon. Getting it set up for the correct height took a few adjustments (if I would have read the directions or watched the video it would have been quicker).

It will be interesting to learn who benefits the most with this device. About a dozen people tired it in my presence. those that did best were those that were younger, slimmer, and more athletic,
