Buy Forearm Walking Crutches, Ergonomically Designed - SmartCrutchUSA

On November 4th 2007 I was diagnosed with Guillain Barrè Syndrome.

I spent 11 months in I.C.U. Medi City Vereeniging. I was totally paralysed from the neck down and could not speak either. A trachea was inserted into my wind pipe via a hole in my throat to enable me to breath.

After numerous setbacks I was eventually released to the Rosebank rehabilitation clinic where I spent another 5 months. During these 5 months I was taught basic functioning skills.

From there I stared at “Rehab Matters” with intensive physio.

After 6 months I could stand between parallel bars and could take a few steps.

I progressed to using crutches , but could not use these crutches with much success due to the lack of support on my arms. I had limited use of my hands and arms. A week later I got introduced to the Smartcrutch. I did the same procedures and was able to walk two steps between the parallel bars. On instruction of the physiotherapist I took a few more steps and was able to accomplish these as well. This was due to the support given by the Smartcrutch.

A previous injury to my shoulder enhanced my problems with using crutches but the Smartcrutch supported the shoulder by taking off the weight and displacing it to the lower arm section.

I have been using the Smartcrutch for eleven months now and I could not have been this able bodied had it not been for the Smartcrutch. I am grateful for the opportunities that these crutches have given me and the enhancement they have brought to my life.

I can recommend these crutches and would encourage anybody to use them.
