“I just wanted to give you feedback on the set ofsmartCRUTCHES we received.
I recently used them on a severe rheumatoid arthritic patient with bad upper extremities (shoulder, elbows, wrists and hands). She was thrilled with how comfortable she felt on your crutches.
We are doing her TKA (total knee arthroplasty) surgery today and these are perfect. She would otherwise not have been able to use any other device and been wheelchair bound for awhile.
Thanks for your help."

These lasted me 4 years of heavy everyday wear in all sorts of weather before something in the mechanism anchoring the spring gave out. I'm incredibly impressed! I'm very hard on my crutches and these flextips have more than stood up to the test. They are by far my favourite smartcrutch accessory!
It's about time someone made a pole for some of us bigger guys. I am big and tall and haven't been able to find walking poles that will handle my height and weight. These are perfect for me!
Very happy with the crutch although the additional padding provided for the forearm cuff does not stick very well even with using the 3m tape. I used doubles side tape. Hope it works.
