When I think about that word… I think sore hands, from pressing down on the handles, I think blisters, from leaning into the crutch, I think hobbling around, with them being in the way of everything, me tripping over them. Unpleasant, uncomfortable, yet something that I have no option but to rely on.

Having said all of this, I wonder if it would be possible to have something that is a little less uncomfortable. If so, what would make it a Comfortable Crutch? Surely a new design? Something that is adjustable to your height and body weight? That you can use on any surface and not risk slipping and re-injuring yourself? The standard crutch, like a walking stick, offers minimal support, discomfort, inflammation and pain. And you’re relying on it to assist your lifestyle and be able to get around? Something has to be done about this. If I could find a good quality crutch, that is easily affordable and easily accessible, it would make sense that while I am injured, I could use it in comfort and with confidence.  

Generally, when we have some kind of injury, we are not too concerned about our style or fashion sense. But how nice to have options! Should you want to funk up your wardrobe, or just for a lighter mood… there are colours!!! To co-ordinate with your lifestyle!!

So I’m sure you want to hear what I’m on about?  I want to tell you about the Smart Crutch. This thing is amazing! It is so easily affordable, excellent quality and designed by an orthopaedic surgeon. So comfort is a priority. The best part: It comes in various colours! You can choose from red, blue, yellow, black, green or even pink!  It is fully adaptable, comfortable and easily customised to your specific needs. What more could you ask for when you are seriously in need of something to assist your lifestyle?

Who would have thought you’d be able to make your crutch a fun accessory!

I say it’s worth it.

There are three different types of Crutches available on the market. The Forearm Crutches, Underarm Crutches and the Auxiliary crutch.

Crutches are a form of medical device that are generally used by individuals who can’t walk properly or have extreme difficulty or pain while walking. Crutches are meant to perform two major functions; reducing the weight load on one of the legs of the person, and helping in broadening the support base that helps in maintaining a stable and upright position, while still maintaining the person’s posture at the same time.

This can only be achieved if the person is using the crutches correctly. Some of the above crutches can be hazardous to ones health in the long run. For instance, some underarm Crutches restrict blood flow to the rest of the body, resulting in pinched nerves and longer recovery periods. What we need in a crutch is the support of your wounded body part, as well as the comfort in using the said crutch. Should neither of these be achieved, then one can look forward to a longer recovery and more pain in the future.

Smart Crutch have come up with a crutch that is easily adjustable to your specific needs, and will ensure that you maintain your posture and balance. It is designed to suit the needs of any type of injury as well as colour coded to your own requirements.

These Crutches are part of a new generation of crutches that are becoming so popular in South Africa because of their health benefits in the long term. The revolutionary design is simply driven through need. They are fully adaptable and adjustable to your height and allow for angle customisation.

Due to some injury, you may now be in a situation where it is compulsory for you to use crutches and you may find that it is slowing you down! Crutches can be uncomfortable, and because of this, you may avoid being active and may be living a very boring, inactive life!

Being inactive can affect your health and you certainly would not want to be a couch potato all your life. It does not mean that because you are on crutches, you have to live an abnormal life. If you look around there are so many people that are disabled for life and they are not discouraged by their disability, in fact, there are some that live a much more active lifestyle than normal people do!

It takes a lot of courage and self motivation to overcome whatever incident that may have occurred in your life, the incident that probably led you to be on crutches. You cannot dwell over the past, we learn from past mistakes, we learn the reasons for certain negative incidents that occur in our lives, over a period of time. As it is often said, “everything happens for a reason, only time will tell!”

If you are bound to crutches or have just been told by your doctor that you need to go on crutches for a period of time, do not let this bring you down or slower the pace of your lifestyle because you can find really comfortable crutches, strive to lead an active lifestyle and inspire other people in your life  by doing so. With the revolutionary new crutches from Smart crutch, you can have maximum comfort, minimum pain and discomfort, at a very reasonable price. It is no ordinary, conventional crutch, the revolutionary smart crutch was developed and designed by Colin Albertyn and his team of experts. Colin’s experience with conventional crutches made him realise that there was a great need to improve the safety and comfort of a crutch and this led to this revolutionary idea being turned into an opportunity!
