Underarm Cradle
This unique feature provides for better sense of stability in use. The cradle feature allows for greater position confidence while in the walking motion. As the walking movement proceeds, the front position of the under arm cradle gives the user forward arm and shoulder support. Consequently, there is less reliance on the direct underarm pressure. Since the user relies less on the underarm support, there is a reduction in back and shoulder stress.
- Larger area enhances sense of walking stability
- Reduces underarm fatigue and soreness
- More comfortable and easy to use

 Crutch Folding Design
Traditional crutches are awkward to use in crowded settings such as in a car, or on an airplane, sitting in an audience, or at a restaurant. T he collapsible feature of our crutch makes using it in public places much more convenient. It simply folds for easy storage.
Convenient to fold and store.
Easy to carry, package and ship. |
 Natural Ergonomic Grip
In a natural grip, the third metacarpal bone aligns with the radius bone of the arm. The object in the hand is also angled at approximately 24°. Ergonomically designed devices mimic this natural angle of the body, thus reducing stress to joints and muscles. |
 Unnatural Grip
When the hand is forced into an unnatural position, the third metacarpal bone no longer aligns with the radial bone. This causes the muscles and joints of the hand and wrist to be traumatized and overstressed. |
Physical Ergonomic Test
 
Grasp a long object such as a pen or a stick. Hold it out in front of you and notice the angle at which it rests. Slightly release your grip and move your wrist to the left. Now squeeze the object.
Do the same moving your wrist to the right. Notice the stress that is not present when grasping in a natural position.
Conventional crutches are not ergonomically designed, and their users—especially their long-term users—run the risk of serious injury. |
