My second purchase of the rubber tips. Well made, durable and fit my existing poles.
Finally poles for someone taller. These things are great, super sturdy with grips that fit my hands.
I love my new foldable walking poles. They are so convenient to use when out hiking. Recently brought them with me to the Berkshires; they made trekking through the snow so easy!
It's really made my recovery easier (I broke my ankle) and I'm sure it will be useful for other mobility issues I have.
Don't get me wrong they're useful. They help the crutches stand up and be less likely to tip. But honestly thats all the praise I can give them. The main issue I have is that the to top magnets piece are not long enough to extend past the crutch cuff. This results in the magnets not being able to fully make contact SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their ability to stick together. The advertisements are more tame here on smart crutchs than geckos own site but you cannot carry one and support the other because without the magnets making that full contact they aren't strong enough to support the weight. Additionally (not smart crutches fault) the wrist straps gecko sells are not long enough to reach your wrists even on the smallest forearm setting, which I use. I use them every day, but I wish they were better.
These crutch tips make walking more comfortable and assist in stability on ramps. Love them!
i have CRPS in my leg and need a mobile aid to get around, but i have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrists. using a cane has become impossible because of how much it hurts my hand/wrist, and i can't use a manual wheelchair for the same reason. my smartcrutch has been an absolute lifesaver. being able to adjust the forearm portion to be horizontal takes nearly all the pressure off my hand and wrist. it's not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be either. i am incredibly impressed. i can't imagine ever going back to a cane.
Very prompt. Nothing too difficult! Will recommend this company with out hesitation.
Excellent product
The Nordic poles are easy to use, comfortable and help my balance.
People keep asking if I am paid to promote these. I love mine, I hype it up everywhere. It's significantly more supportive than a cane and a great option for when you need more support but don't want a rollator/chair!
ive been using a cane since i was 12 (EDS) and only recently decided to take the leap and try something new to relieve the stress my cane had been putting on my wrist. now i use a single smartcrutch in a platform position and ive had it about 2 weeks now and it has been probably the best decision ive ever made. theres definitely a learning curve and its a bit heavier than my cane was, but im able to lean against it and support myself on it even standing still without knowing i might make my wrist joint slip or something.
Still getting used to the height of it, and ive been making a lot of minor adjustments each day depending on what is hurting most for me- highly recommend, great for the price as well
I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome and struggle with gaining endurance when walking daily due to poor proprioception, balance, and frequent injuries. I began using my poles nine months ago after an episode of severe fatigue and was shocked how much longer I could walk the first time with them than without them. There were days that I dreaded walking or simply didn't walk because of dizziness or fatigue, but now I know I have the support I need to keep moving and build strength and endurance. My PT loves these poles and helps me focus on proper form with the poles, so that frequent injuries that come with my condition don't get me down. Motivator is the perfect name ! Hugs and high fives to your team for creating a fabulous tool. And I love my Zebra sticker so that I can create conversations around what's working.
Takes the weight off of my wrist which was what I was trying to accomplish.
I purchased this as a gift for my mom, who has recently been trying out nordic walking. She is thrilled, and reported that it was easy to adjust the poles to the right height. Shipping was quick and easy. Very pleased!
The crutches are excellent product.
I needed new straps (I lost one).
I easily ordered them.
I received them in just a few days.
Exactly what I wanted,
Perfect!!😊
I bought the Motivator and travel Motivator poles for my husband. He has been getting out twice a day to walk. The poles give him better stability and help him to walk a bit faster. He is getting used to the hand grip.
I am traveling overseas next month and needed a crutch that I was able to dismantle and pack in my bag or put in overhead bin on the plane. Not only is the crutch fun looking it matched all my needs. The customer service was a 10.
The cuff design is wonderful! Really sweet of Lauren to think and come up with such a brilliant idea for Smartcrutch users!
I have found these crutches to be very helpful getting around with (probable) EDS. They were very easy to set up and feel great. The only negative is that the padding in the cuffs falls off constantly, so I am going to have to adhere them another way. I almost didn't buy these because of the cost, but I'm glad I went for it, and I would recommend these to anyone with similar issues.
Great Walking Stick for Balance & Stability
A knowledgeable and helpful customer service representative responds to emails almost immediately, and goes beyond what one would normally expect by way of answering questions and solving problems. And the lanyard and walking poles I purchased are great too.
Best support walking poles. They are light weight and very sturdy and strong. The handles are very safe. The bottom of the poles are great for walking on your daily routes.
Five Star Rating.
I think the design of the hand piece and the sturdiness of the poles is great for patients with gait instability and for hiking.
