Regina used smartCRUTCHES® for rheumatoid arthritic patient

October 2, 2015

“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."

The description doesn't do this product enough justice. They are way better than the description ever said! Not only are they great on wet surfaces, but they work amazing for anyone who works in food service around greasy floors! I work at a McDonald's where the floor is super slick and greasy and oily and these give me a decent amount of traction on said surface. Truly amazing.

Amazing product! 10/10 would recommend! I can move and be free again! I'm not limited to flat ground and short distances. Costumer service is just as amazing if not better than the product itself. I had a rubber tip split and break 3 days after receiving it and they listened and problem solved to find a solution. Truly amazing, genuinely caring people. I wish there was more I could do to give them the recognition they deserve! I will definitely continue working with them in the future!

First and foremost, I want to talk about the customer service. I
received a phone call from a person, not a computer-generated voice, that my order was going to be a day late due to weather in their area. It is so rare these days to be treated so personally that I am so amazed. That alone has boosted my experience with this company to the toppest level. Not to mention the craftsmanship and style of these polls! I highly highly recommend this company and their priducts. And I, intend to look up this company when I go to Cape Cod to personally thank them as they personally treated me amazingly.

Fairly sturdy, fairly comfortable

These work alright for me. I think these could use more molded hand pieces, and they have a bit of wobble to them where they join. I'm going to add some foam tape to try to improve the former. Overall I still recommend them, though.

Exactly what I was looking for - Comfortable!

I ordered these to assist me with my RA pain and a knee injury. I was going on a trip overseas and was looking for something that, first and foremost, was comfortable and also easy to travel with (foldable/compact). They worked so well and was able to adjust the length and the cuff where it fit in the airplane overhead bin and also under the seat (if sitting at a window seat). I had 4 connecting flights and it was easy to travel with and no issues at airport security. I'm also 5' 1.5" an no problems adjusting them to my height and there was still room to make it shorter and taller, of course.

They are also very comfortable. They eliminate the pain in my wrists (compared to normal crutches). Due to my RA, I can't depend on my wrists so it's nice to be able to lean on the cuffs instead, with the smartCRUTCH, and not have to use my wrists. After a few practice runs, it was very easy to use and easy to adjust.

I highly recommend them! I got lots of compliments and inquiries, during my cruise. I made sure to let them know where I purchased them and gave them the link.

I was concerned originally with the size of the cuff but the pads filled in the space for my small arms (or you can use it without the pads, if not needed). One of the pads did fall out but it was easy enough to clean off the glue and will re-glue it later but I didn't really need the pads so I might just keep it as it is.

Also, I highly recommend the crutch bag! This was a wonderful add-on to the order. Thank you Lauren!!!! I was able to fit my phone and room key along with my reading glasses and lip balm. It carried quite a few things and love the little mesh side pocket too. I didn't have to carry a purse with me so it made it super convenient. I Love it!!! I also found out that if I want to change out the design, I can order the (Interchangeable) Static Skins - to sass up my Cuffs, and not have to order a separate smartCrutch.

Overall, I am super happy I purchased them. I have been looking for an option where I could have an assistive device without causing me any additional pain in my joints and this is exactly what I was looking for. Lauren/owner was so nice too so it made the purchasing experience all that much better. Thank you!!!!
