Anonymous: #freedom_leg_walking_brace I have a broken ankle. No weight bearing. Is the Freedom Leg Brace all they claim? Worth the money? Anyone have it break? How about walking on gravel, rough ground? Forward Mobility all these problems are fixed. Replacement parts a problem? Thanks! Nov 16, 10

    Anonymous: We were the original distributor in December 2009. Most people sent them back with in the 2 day trial period. We stopped carrying it when 3 of the first 25 units (12%) catastrophically failed while in use (side beam buckled). All three patients were males under 200 pounds. Don't know if they have changed the design since Spring of 2011, but we had a Mechanical Engineering Professor at Western Michigan University. look at one of the failed units. His opinion was that the resin / fiberglass composite just wasn't strong enough. Neat idea though. Jan 26, 11
