Let's take a moment to focus on a specific benefit for arthritis sufferers that use walking poles - Improved walking mechanics
As sufferers know, arthritis can sometimes lead to poor posture and balance issues. Walking poles can help individuals maintain proper alignment and balance, reducing the risk of further joint damage. Further, walking poles can promote a more natural and symmetrical gait, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis. They encourage a more upright posture and help to distribute the effort more evenly between the upper and lower body.
Customer feedback consistently tells us that sufferers that have tried walking poles are more likely to turn walking into a beneficial and healthy routine that would otherwise be a significant challenge. Cheers to that...Let's Get Out There!

Very happy with the crutch although the additional padding provided for the forearm cuff does not stick very well even with using the 3m tape. I used doubles side tape. Hope it works.
I'm 6'5" with big hands and also have RA and some upper back arthritis. First, these poles are an instantly more comfortable for walking than using a cane! It's easy to keep my head and back upright and the stability of the poles is really great. They weight about 5 ounces more than standard poles, and I definitely feel more stable while I'm using them. The push button height adjustment is very easy to use, too. The palm cradle gives an extra level of comfort while in use. I'm absolutely sold on these poles, and if you're over 6'4" and/or have very large hands, you'll need to try these out. You'll be impressed, too.
With EDS I had no idea how badly regular forearm crutches would hurt my wrists and hands. These are all I can use with both knees doing poorly and I’m so happy they exist. Thank you!! The space pattern is awesome taboot.
