I’ve got multiple chronic conditions where my mobility becomes limited during a flare, for a long time basic forearm crutches worked but that changed quickly when my hands started to become inflamed and ache. I could not get myself to the bathroom because of the bearing down weight of my body on just my hands and wrists alone. SmartCrutches completely changed that for me! They were bought for me as a gift from a friend knowing that I was really struggling. I currently have them set up at the 15 degree angle and all of my weight is being distributed evenly across my forearm. No more severe hand pain or tingling, no shooting elbow pain from overuse. I’m able to get myself around for basic tasks without being in extra pain than necessary. It took a day or two to get used to the change of balance just because the center of gravity is a little different, but it was a quick lesson and they are working great for me. Not to mention the fun designs, I’ve had so many people compliment how fun my crutches are. Super grateful to this company, they thought of literally everything when designing these mobility aids. They are pretty lightweight even though they are obviously bulkier than your standard crutches. But the ability to customize the way they fit and their positioning is truly game changing. If you’re thinking about getting them, I highly recommend just doing it. Your hands will thank you, unless you’re on standard crutches… then your armpits will thank you!
Great quality. Injured left leg and right wrist. Used to keep body weight off of injured wrist, works well. Unlike traditional crutch/cane this is comfortable for me to use.
These are great and you should order them if you're looking to change things up. They look great, don't scratch, and stay in place. I ordered the mothman decals and I was disappointed at first because they were super thin and scratched easily. I contacted customer service and they send me a new set. The first ones I got must have been defective, because the second ones were perfect.
The folded size and weight are excellent for travel . Can be stored in moderate suitcase. Hand grips are good for fast walking as they allow use of hand power. The placements of thumb is a bit awkward and could be improved with a longer hand grip. And wider space for thumb placement.
The sent me the wrong sizes for cuff sleeve and the adjustment screw was the wrong one altogether
I’ve tried several times to call most of the time the mail box is full so they must have many other complaints as well I’ve also sent several unresolved text messages… I totally flabbergasted
