Let's face it, crutches are not inherently fun. They are a critical tool to help with injuries, recovery and long-term assistance...invaluable, actually. That said, crutches can indeed be made fun with a little creativity and a positive attitude. Here are some ideas:
Customization: Decorate your crutches with stickers, paint, or colorful tape. This can make them look cool and reflect your personality. smartCRUTCH has embraced this with sassy skins!!
Crutch Tricks: With practice and safety precautions, you can learn some fun crutch tricks, similar to skateboarding or using a pogo stick. Look up tutorials or videos online for inspiration.
Crutch Games: Invent games that incorporate your crutches. For example, you can use them for a game of "crutch soccer" where you use one crutch to hit a soft ball.
Crutch Challenges: Challenge yourself or friends to fun and safe competitions, like timed races on crutches or obstacle courses.
Social Fun: Get friends involved. Have them try using crutches for a short period to understand your experience and create fun shared activities.
Music and Rhythm: Use your crutches to make beats or rhythms, turning them into musical instruments.
Positivity and Humor: Maintain a positive mindset and use humor to make the experience enjoyable. Sharing funny moments or jokes about crutches can lighten the mood.
Remember to always prioritize safety and not to overexert yourself, especially if you are using crutches due to an injury. The Freedom to Move!
These crutch tips make walking more comfortable and assist in stability on ramps. Love them!
i have CRPS in my leg and need a mobile aid to get around, but i have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrists. using a cane has become impossible because of how much it hurts my hand/wrist, and i can't use a manual wheelchair for the same reason. my smartcrutch has been an absolute lifesaver. being able to adjust the forearm portion to be horizontal takes nearly all the pressure off my hand and wrist. it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be either. i am incredibly impressed. i can't imagine ever going back to a cane.
Very prompt. Nothing too difficult! Will recommend this company with out hesitation.
Excellent product
