Description

Existing crutches are uncomfortable because of the small tips touching the ground, and even more uncomfortable when going up and down the stairs. S-CRUTCH is an assistive device designed for comfortable walking, inspired by the artificial leg ‘Cheetah flex foot’ used by disabled athletes. Its elasticity and flexibility help support the weight of its user. The second carbon fiber support added to the center pole facilitates easier and more stable walking on both level and steep grounds.
