CRUTCHES THAT REDUCE THE PRESSURE

Almost anyone who has to walk using crutches for any length of time will develop complaints to their wrists and hands. These arise because the arm and shoulder joints have to support the entire body weight. Max van den Eijnden has studied the natural strength and flexibility of wood and designed a light-weight, basic, shock absorbing crutch shaped like an S. The form and the position of the handle will reduce pressure on the wrists. Its essential parts can be adjusted independently based on the patient’s size and body proportions. Smoove will not impede your movements, but follow them.
