THE FREEDOM LEG “Mobility Reinvented”
The Freedom Leg offers unparalleled assistance to patients recovering from knee, lower leg, ankle or foot injury and/or surgery during the critical off-loading phase.
The Freedom Leg also provides significant relief to patients healing diabetic foot sores, as well as to below-knee amputees after initial surgery and during rehabilitation, when conventional prosthetics can cause severe irritation to the patient’s stump.
