This crutch was given the National Merit Award for best new product of 2005-2006 for the product that most improves the quality of life.
Here are the reasons this product won the award:
Comfortable Underarm Cradle
much more stable than the ordinary crutch
there is much less reliance on the underarm pressure thus reducing back and shoulder stress
there is more surface area which increases walking stability, is more comfortable, and decreases underarm fatigue
Ergonomic Grip
the crutch has is shock-absorbing and is built at a 12 degree angle which helps to provide the greatest amount of blood flood and decrease nervous system trauma
will help reduce the possiblity of carpal tunnel sydrome and wrist tenonitis problems
Folding Design
most crutches are hard to deal with in crowded settings, plaines, cars, restaurants etc. but these crutches are collapsible and are easy to store (even in an overhead bin on an airplane) or in a closet (for example the next time your daughter slides into home plate)
Shock Absorber / Power Assist
this crutch actually has a shock absorber built in but yet is still very stable
