“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."

I know this was originally for bikers, but it's awesome for throwing on when walking to work or cross country skiing.
The ONLY reason I'm not giving it 5 star is the sticker came off pretty fast
I have severe scoliosis and these poles are so comfortable and supportive - they really help me keep moving! I have used regular trekking poles in the past, but I would get hand fatigue and sometimes even numbness in my hands. I have used a cane in the past, but I would get both hand and shoulder pain with a cane. The York Nordic Motivator poles have solved both of these issues. I highly recommend them. I also strongly recommend getting a FlexTip base with a spring as for the added shock absorption and a longer life for the tips - the typical rubber tips don't last long if you walk a lot. Thank you for developing these poles!
Thrilled you love them!
These are so much more comfortable than under arm crutches!
I had a broken wrist and need crutches that did not put so much pressure on my wrist. These were perfect! I highly recommend them!
