I HAVE to say this was the Best thing I could have found. I am a single mother of a 3 year old living in a home with stairs on a very limited income. I tore several ligaments in my right ankle. I had surgery and was required to be non-weight bearing for almost 4 months. With a 3 year-old, a new job with very little sick time accrued, and bedrooms & bathrooms upstairs - I HAD to be mobile. This gadget gave me the mobility I desperately required. It did take some practice to get my balance right and when I did fall, it was because I was going too fast. It was easy and comfortable enough that I would get too confident and forget to be careful of my speed. Stairs were a cinch - a necessity when the bathrooms are upstairs - one hand on the railing, one holding my crutch, one stair at a time. I was able to function by having at least one hand available for laundry, groceries, work, and household chores. The swelling and pressure was kept under more control by having my foot propped up no matter where I was. Even when I was standing, the pain and pressure from swelling was at a minimum by not having my foot hanging down in front of me.
None of these things would have been feasible on my own with just regular crutches. This OneCrutch definitely had a positive impact on my situation. It helped me keep my independence which kept my spirits up and made my healing a much smoother process. I truly and sincerely thank the maker of this product.
