The New Generation Ergobaum Ergonomic Crutches (Single Unit) Single Unit Ergobaum serves as a balanced powerful performance cane

I broke my ankle and required surgery before a planned camping vacation. I searched for an accessibility tool that would allow me to still hobble around camp, get up steps, walk on uneven ground, etc- all that is involved on Adirondack camping. This ergobaum cane did everything I needed it to! The built in flashlight was great for walking to the bathroom at night from the camp site! The "foot" bottom of the cane pivots beautifully and adjusts to uneven ground, grassy areas gravel, and divit "pot holes" in an underground mountain tunnel! I put this thing to the test! I am no light weight. This all terrain cane has a sturdy enough spring on it to help boost me up a very tall nonregulated not ADA accessible steps! It bore all my weight so my ankle remained safely tucked into the aircast boot. The knee rest feature was helpful while waiting on lines. The ergonomic handle is truly very comfortable and sturdy. While in a museum, I used a very uncomfortable knee scooter, and was able to easily fold up the cane to put in the scooter's basket so I could bring the ergobaum 7G with me! The slim design makes it easy to keep near you. The arm strap is handy when you forget that you need a cain and grab something with that hand... with the arm strap on, the cane won't fall to the ground; which is a nice safety feature and prevents you from falling over if you had to grab a regular crutch when it falls to the ground. I truly appreciate very little detail that went into designing this mobility tool. It allowed me to adapt and enjoy my camping adventure without imposing further injury to my broken ankle. I don't know why Ortho Surgeons don't make this tool a standard recovery/mobility tool prescription! I paid full price out of pocket; but it was worth EVERY penny!!! After my recovery, I plan to use this handy device for future hiking trips!

Excelente calidad y para cualquier estatura de persona.

This is a great device for aiding walking. It’s on the expensive side, but well designed and adjustable. It has a “bad ass” look to it in black. The rubber pad in contact with the ground is quite secure. Just watch that you don’t put it down on something that slides (like a hallway rug). The lower part is sprung, which takes the shock out of each step, and relieves your arm. I just use one crutch, and it really makes the user feel more secure walking with the forearm support and strap. One thing I find difficult is the uncomfortable rubber hand grip which can bruise your palm with long distance use. I use a padded glove like those for weight lifting …. But, in my case with a bad hip problem, I put to 50lb down pressure on the handle with each step.

I absolutely love these crutches. They are so much nicer than the typical loftstrand crutches that I've used for the past 20+ years. It's like trading in a Ford for a Ferrari. The light is handy, the beeper/horn is cute, and does draw attention when used. The suspension in the crutches is wonderful. And the angle of the hand grips are easily adjustable. Also the hand grips are a nice squishy rubber. I have pain in my hands, and the grips on these crutches are much gentler on my hands. I really like the unusual tips. They grip smooth surfaces much better than any other I've ever used. And the wider base makes it easier to walk on soft or grassy ground. I like the safety feature of the reflective strip; however I did replace the neon yellow tape with a more aesthetically pleasing reflective tape. I'm not a big fan of yellow. I also removed the knee rests. They weren't of use to me, and I kind of hated them. But they are very easy to remove, if you have a Philip's screwdriver handy. Although I will say that the knee rests were sturdy, and well made with nice rubbery padding. And of course my favorite feature is that they can be folded in half. It's fairly simple, and easy to pull them apart, and then slide them back together. Sometimes it's difficult to find a space to store cruches when you are out somewhere, or on an airplane. They are a bit heavier than standard crutches, but it doesn't bother me. These crutches are top quality. They even have a nicely designed adjustable strap that helps to keep the crutch on your arm. And there is a replaceable pad inside the arm cuff, and on the inside of the strap. I was also very happy to find that the seller is quick to respond to any inquiry, and willing to help with any problems that arise with the order. I had a small concern, and they resolved it immediately. I'll be recommending these crutches to anyone who asks about them.

Nice cane. Works really well. Easy adjustments. I would have rated it 5 stars if the handle fit my hand better. I'm 6' and typical hands for my size. There is a useful little knob that sticks up to help keep your hand from skipping off, but it doesn't leave quite enough room for my palm in the handle. A slightly smaller hand would fit fine.
