We are excited to tell you that smartCRUTCH-USA will attend the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Combined Sections Meeting in mid-February in Boston. The conference will bring together industry experts, thought leaders and members of the physical therapy community to collaborate, learn and explore. It will be a great opportunity to demonstrate the unique features that enable smartCRUTCH to provide The Freedom to Move! We look forward to sharing the success stories we have seen and heard over the years. Hope to see you there!
My second purchase of the rubber tips. Well made, durable and fit my existing poles.
Finally poles for someone taller. These things are great, super sturdy with grips that fit my hands.
I love my new foldable walking poles. They are so convenient to use when out hiking. Recently brought them with me to the Berkshires; they made trekking through the snow so easy!
It's really made my recovery easier (I broke my ankle) and I'm sure it will be useful for other mobility issues I have.
Don't get me wrong they're useful. They help the crutches stand up and be less likely to tip. But honestly thats all the praise I can give them. The main issue I have is that the to top magnets piece are not long enough to extend past the crutch cuff. This results in the magnets not being able to fully make contact SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their ability to stick together. The advertisements are more tame here on smart crutchs than geckos own site but you cannot carry one and support the other because without the magnets making that full contact they aren't strong enough to support the weight. Additionally (not smart crutches fault) the wrist straps gecko sells are not long enough to reach your wrists even on the smallest forearm setting, which I use. I use them every day, but I wish they were better.
