Due to carefully considered details, Flexi Crutches overcome certain inconveniences associated with the use of conventional forearm crutches. At the touch of a button, they can retract to half their original size and are stowed away easily in a wheelchair, for example. The ergonomically shaped handles take the strain off the user when walking for long periods, while the arm cuffs with their slightly inclined angle achieve a better distribution of body weight. The height adjustment allows the crutches to be adapted to body size. To ensure optimum grip, the rubber feet have a wide oval shape and an elastic buffer zone.
