Flexyfoot Standard Soft Grip Handle Open Cuff Crutch

If you’ve suffered a lower limb injury, crutches can be an invaluable aid to your recovery, bearing your weight and allowing you to maintain mobility as your injuries heal. However, standard crutch ferrules (the caps at the bottom of crutches) are prone to transmitting the shock generated when they make contact with the floor, causing pain and discomfort in the upper limbs. It can also be dangerous to walk on rough terrain with standard crutches, as the ferrules fail to provide proper grip. 

Coming fitted with the Flexyfoot ferrule, the Flexyfoot Standard Soft Grip Handle Open Cuff Crutch has been specially developed to provide a solution for these problems. Significantly alleviating pain and discomfort, this product is ideal for those who experience problems relating to extended crutch use.

Shock Absorption

Traditional ferrules (the caps on the bottom of crutches) do not absorb the shock that is generated every time the crutch touches the ground. This shock then travels through the hand and arm, leading to fatigue and discomfort. The Flexyfoot ferrule’s uniquely designed bellows absorb shock, which in turn can help relieve this pain.

This shock absorption is ideal for people who are suffering from elbow and shoulder pain as a result of using crutches or other walking aids. The Flexyfoot features two parts: a collar and a pleated bellows. The bellows act like a spring to absorb shock, meaning less is transferred to your body compared to traditional rubber ferrules.

Ergonomic Design

The Flexyfoot Standard Soft Grip Handle Open Cuff Crutch is built for comfort. Its modern open cuff design allows it to have a less bulky, more compact look than the Closed Cuff Crutch, while still providing excellent mobility benefits.  It features a soft grip handle paired with pin height adjustment, allowing it to be easily modified to an exact fit for the user. What’s more, the Open Cuff Crutch even includes front and rear reflectors for maximum safety in darker environments.
