The
oneCrutch is a revolutionary
crutch designed to meet the
mobility needs of people with non-weight
bearing lower leg injuries.
oneCrutch is an excellent
alternative to traditional
crutches, allowing its users self-sufficiency
through better use of their arms
and hands. The device supports
the knee and upper leg using a
unique platform device that is
connected to a standard crutch.
For safety reasons no straps or
cables are attached to the body.
If you've recently injured your leg below the knee, the oneCrutch could be a great tool for rehabilitation. If you're not comfortable with some of the "knee support" style crutches on the market, the oneCrutch can let you slowly learn to use just "one crutch". For example, you've just been released from the hospital and someone offers you an iWalkFree or Knee Walker trolley. Maybe you would rather stick with regular crutches for awhile instead of trying something radical like these devices. With the oneCrutch attachment this is possible. With it attached to YOUR crutch, put the attachment to the outside and use your crutches like normal. As the days progress you can turn the crutch so that the attachment is on the inside. Now you can (when you feel comfortable) place your knee on the attachment and slowly move some weight off your armpits and on to the knee of your injured leg. As more time passes you can eventually lose the crutch on the non-injured side of your body and place your full weight on just one crutch, thereby freeing up your other hand to carry coffee, magazines, etc.

A good way to see if you
are a candidate for the
oneCrutch is to place the
knee of your injured leg
on a table chair and see
if you can balance on
that knee for several
seconds. If you can then
you should have no
problems with the
oneCrutch. You must
be in good physical
health and have
a good sense of balance
to realize the full
potential of using the
oneCrutch. |
