In Motion Pro Millennial Tall Crutch
In Motion Pro Millennial Tall Crutch made for patients 5' 7 inches to 6' 9 inches tall are our signature crutch. It embraces the latest technology for crutch ambulation. Articulating crutch tips are standard on Millennial In-Motion Pro crutches. This means added stability and confidence that is a must for any crutch user.Shock-Absorbing:
The shock-absorbing feature of these ergonomic crutches increases comfort by reducing stress, fatigue and soreness. The tension of the shock absorber allows the necessary cushion in each step, but is firm enough to provide a feeling of security and stability.
» Absorbs impact energy
» Increases comfort by reducing stress, fatigue and soreness
» Reduces pain in back, shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists
Extended Range:
» Requires fewer model sizes
» Adaptable to multiple end users
» Fits a large range of heights
Folding Design:
Traditional crutches are awkward to use in crowded settings such as in a car, or on an airplane, sitting in an audience, or at a restaurant. The collapsible feature of our folding crutches makes using it in public places much more convenient. It simply folds for easy storage.
» Convenient to fold and store
» Easy to carry, package and ship
Ergonomic Grip:
The ergonomic grip on our shock-absorbing folding crutches is at an angle (12°) designed to provide the greatest amount of blood flow and reduced trauma to the nervous system.
» Designed for repetitive and vigorous use
» Allows proper blood flow and nerve conduction
» Reduces carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist tendinitis
Underarm Cradle:
This unique feature provides for better sense of stability in use. The cradle feature on our ergonomic crutches allows for greater position confidence while in the walking motion. As the walking movement proceeds, the front position of the under arm cradle gives the user forward arm and shoulder support. Consequently, there is less reliance on the direct underarm pressure. Since the user relies less on the underarm support, there is a reduction in back and shoulder stress.
» Larger area enhances sense of walking stability
» Reduces underarm fatigue and soreness
» More comfortable and easy to use
Understanding Ergonomics of our crutches:
The crutch is one object that has not kept pace "ergonomically” with the ever-changing world of modern medicine, especially in those applications requiring its long-term use. Static overloading results when muscles, especially those of the hand and the extensor muscles of the wrist, are traumatized or overstressed repeatedly over time. Injuries common to long-term crutch use include carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist tendinitis, medial or lateral elbow epicondylitis, and rotator cuff muscle strains and tears. These injuries result from cumulative stresses on tissues and joints and excessive muscular contraction that impedes blood flow. Other parts of the body, such as the back and the shoulders, are also adversely effected by unnatural stress and increased loads. In addition, long-term crutch use causes fatigue and discomfort, which increases the risk of additional injury from unsafe use.
Conventional crutches are not ergonomically designed, and their users—especially their long-term users—run the risk of serious injury. Modern medicine needs an ergonomically designed, comfortable, user-friendly crutch, like Millennial In-Motion Pro crutches, that maintains proper posture, relieves damaging stress, and lessens vasoconstriction and compressive forces, thereby reducing the overall chance of injury to the user.
