Flexyfoot: The Solution to Common Crutch Problems

Crutches are a vital aid if you have impaired mobility, but they can often cause their own host of problems, including upper body discomfort and restricted movement. Thanks to an innovative brand known as Flexyfoot, you no longer have to grin and bear with these difficulties. This range features a flexible ferrule that absorbs impact shock to alleviate pain, and bends to maximise grip and stability.

Common Problems with Crutches

Most common crutches have rigid structures, which provide stability but also subject your body to impact shock each time you take a step. Due to their inflexible nature, they can also make walking on uneven terrains and going up and down stairs quite difficult, putting your health, comfort and safety at risk.

Flexyfoot: the Solution to All Your Crutch-Related Problems

Say goodbye to all these problems with Flexyfoot's fantastic range of revolutionary crutches! The product of extensive research and product testing, the ferrule of these crutches has flexible bellows, which both maximises grip and absorbs impact for unparalleled levels of comfort and safety.

Here's some benefits you can expect from Flexyfoot compared to standard crutches:

• Flexible ferrule bends to maximise grip on all surfaces
• Ferrule also absorbs shock to relieve pain on the upper body
• Facilitates safer travel on stairs and uneven surfaces
• Suitable for walking on wet or shiny surfaces
• Straight or ergonomic handles promote good wrist posture
• Open and closed cuff options offer differing amounts of hand freedom

Other Tips for Using Your Crutches

1. Adjust your crutch's height correctly (crutch pads should be about 1.5 - 2" below armpits)
2. Use your hands to bear weight rather than your armpits (i.e. don't lean on the crutch pads with your armpits)
3. Wear flat shoes that support your feet well to reduce your risk of tripping
4. Take small steps when walking on slippery surfaces
5. Walk slowly when moving from one type of surface to another
6. Avoid trip hazards like rugs, electrical cords, or loose mats
7. Don't hold possessions while you're walking with your crutches
8. Always use crutches in well-lit environments
