Not for everyone
As a disabled person who still works full time, this crutch just isn’t for me. I need the cuff/platform to move easily on a swivel so I can use that arm to do my job. I work in healthcare (clinic) and even the simplest actions such as turning on lights as I enter an exam room or doing a quick test on a patient require me to completely reset the platform. I’m sure there are people who this type of setup works well for, it’s just not for my own situation. I wish I had realized that before I ordered.

Superbly Engineered & Customer Support
I was impressed by the customization of the forearm weight bearing crutch and the prompt customer support for how to adapt the crutch for my unique circumstances.
I highly recommend the forearm crutch.
Thanks!

What I was looking for! Perfect for my hEDS
I needed something for balance and partial weight bearing and a cane was not cutting it. I tried multiple styles and they caused too much strain on my hand, wrists, and elbow joints. I looked at this for months before taking the plunge because I couldn’t try it first. But, finally, I decided to pick a side and give one a go. I’m so glad I did. I plan to order one for the other side, because you just never know which joint you’re going to need to support with hEDS or if you’re going to have a flair or injury in an upper joint making that arm not useable.

Disgusted
They exploit customers by turning them into billboards
They plaster their name and logo and telephone number three times on each crutch, if you choose a pattern instead of basic black…on both sides/ bottom of the cuff (more is covered than not) and again on the shaft. It’s impossible not to look like a walking advertisement for them, even after paying premium prices. It embarrassing, disgusting and exploitation.This is not the way to treat people, much less paying customers.
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!
