Women on Crutches
Women on Crutches have become more prevalent. I’m not sure if I have not been paying attention or what but there certainly are more women using crutches. Women on crutches bring their special insights to the industry. For example women demand and prefer lighter weight crutches-titanium crutches are a favorite for this reason!
In addition, my women clients on crutches definitely like to see some color in their crutches. Colored crutches are one thing that both my male and female clients agree upon. Women are also very practical and like to have a carrying bag on their crutches. The bags need to be functional and good looking. To that end we will have Advantage Crutch Bags for sale very shortly.
Women also expect their hands and wrists to be comfortable when walking on crutches. I’m seeing more women buyers of The Right Grip crutch handles because of its ergonomic design. Good news-we just recently did a run of The Right Grip and made the color black and used a softer durometer to ensure that the handles are even more comfortable.
Please feel free to share any other insights you may have as a woman on crutches.
Thanks, Steve Mertz
