Ergobaum Ergonomic Forearm Crutches- Adult- Red

Ergobaum Ergonomic Forearm Crutches were designed in 2007 by an orthopedic surgeon. His design addressed patient concerns about secondary injuries they often suffered during rehabilitation from an accident, sports injury or surgery. There were some complaints of extra pain caused by common, traditional, underarm-style crutch support devices. The designer, Dr. Birnbaum, brought 30 years of patient experience and orthopedic knowledge to bear in inventing a revolutionary line of mobility support devices like these feisty pink crutches. His design helped to improve the quality of life for his patients as well as all mobility-impaired individuals. This piece of equipment is ergonomically designed with maximum shock absorption that will provide comfortable, pain-free mobility support when you need it the most. The accessory is CE, USA Medicare and Medicaid approved so it can be used by many different patients.

Unlike ordinary crutches, which can cause pain in the armpit, the ergobaum crutches are lightweight and comfortable. This helps to effectively reduce the typical negative side effects from using old-style, underarm expedients. Many of these issues can be felt in the form of back, shoulder and arm pain, underarm discomfort, carpal tunnel syndrome and tendon subluxation. Spring-loaded shock absorbers have been built into the legs to reduce impact with the ground which will eliminate the typical pain associated with walking on crutches. It's always advisable when choosing a mobility or support device to discuss your options with a healthcare professional. They will be able to help you choose the option that will fit your current needs. The best product for you will always be dependent on the design of the device and your particular injury or disability. Your individual body's overall physical strength and condition will also be part of the decision. Many long-term crutch users with sufficient upper body strength and active individuals recuperating from a sports injury prefer forearm supports over underarm crutches. For those who opt to use a forearm crutch, this handy and convenient item has become a well-loved favorite because of its high-tech, state-of-the-art, patient-centric design. The adult-sized crutches can be adjusted to fit people from 5-foot to 6-foot 6-inches tall, weighing up to 360 lbs, so it will work for many users.
