People keep asking if I am paid to promote these. I love mine, I hype it up everywhere. It's significantly more supportive than a cane and a great option for when you need more support but don't want a rollator/chair!
ive been using a cane since i was 12 (EDS) and only recently decided to take the leap and try something new to relieve the stress my cane had been putting on my wrist. now i use a single smartcrutch in a platform position and ive had it about 2 weeks now and it has been probably the best decision ive ever made. theres definitely a learning curve and its a bit heavier than my cane was, but im able to lean against it and support myself on it even standing still without knowing i might make my wrist joint slip or something.
Still getting used to the height of it, and ive been making a lot of minor adjustments each day depending on what is hurting most for me- highly recommend, great for the price as well
I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome and struggle with gaining endurance when walking daily due to poor proprioception, balance, and frequent injuries. I began using my poles nine months ago after an episode of severe fatigue and was shocked how much longer I could walk the first time with them than without them. There were days that I dreaded walking or simply didn't walk because of dizziness or fatigue, but now I know I have the support I need to keep moving and build strength and endurance. My PT loves these poles and helps me focus on proper form with the poles, so that frequent injuries that come with my condition don't get me down. Motivator is the perfect name ! Hugs and high fives to your team for creating a fabulous tool. And I love my Zebra sticker so that I can create conversations around what's working.
Takes the weight off of my wrist which was what I was trying to accomplish.
I purchased this as a gift for my mom, who has recently been trying out nordic walking. She is thrilled, and reported that it was easy to adjust the poles to the right height. Shipping was quick and easy. Very pleased!
