Hello, my brother has developed a pretty cool crutch alternative. I see the future with this product in the potential to add a cycling application to the base. Hopefully I am not crossing any guidelines posting this :)

would have loved that after my ankle ligament tears, or for post Achilles surgery. not sure how it can work for above the knee injury-- after hip surgery, i hated crutches, but the xleg would still have weight transferred into the hip

thats super cool. When I broke my ankle, was my first time on crutchs and man, what a pain in the ass it was.

Pretty awesome. Not so sure on using kickstarter to fund medical devices, though.

Looks like weight bearing to me. The guy in that brace should use crutches with it.
