ALUMINUM CUSTOM FOREARM CRUTCHES
Fitted to your exact needs. Made in 1/8th inch increments. Need one longer than the other? Need only one crutch? Want a large or small cuff opening?...No problem. Forever Silent: Because there are no adjustment holes to “egg-out” and rattle you will no longer sound like the “Tin Man.” Everyone sees me coming...I hate it when they can hear me coming to! LiteStix one tube construction will last years longer than ordinary adjustable crutches because the hand grips are mounted on a collar & post made from extremely strong Chromoly Steel that unlike an aluminum collar and post, will not fail catistrophically. Strong, safe and dependable! The essential value of LiteStix is the way they protect our upper bodies for the long haul. We cast approximately three times our body weight onto our hands, arms and shoulders with each step. Active crutch users walk 4,000 to 8,000 steps a day. That adds up to literally tons of negative ground impact forces jarring our bodies every day. My patented Tornado and Performance tips and Performance Grips have Absorbalite gel polymer inside. Absorbalite gel has the ability to “eat shock” by transforming it into heat energy instead of transmitting it up the crutch shaft into our upper bodies. Reducing these negative ground impact forces will help mitigate overuse syndrome keeping us vertical into the future. And walking with LiteStix crutches just plain feels good! Patented Crutch Tips: You have the choice of either my Tornado or larger Performance tips. both have a built-in shock absorbing system that significantly reduces "crutch shock" while at the same time providing excellent traction and extremely long wear. Their cost amortizes nicely and the damage control they provide for your hands, arms and shoulders is priceless. Lightweight: LiteStix weigh less than 2 pounds each. So light and airtight they float on water! I used to depend on my dear wife to collect my crutches at the ocean's edge so I could skitter into the water. When I wanted to come back in she would bring them to the water's edge and I'd struggle to stand up while being hit by waves from behind. Now I walk into deep water and lock my LiteStix into one unit and toss them beyond the breakers where they float around like a well- trained pet. Now when I come in from my swim I stand-up in chest deep water, wait for a break between waves and walk out...all on my own! Dupont Zytel Nylon Cuffs hold onto your arm... LiteStix cuffs enable me to reach up and take a glass out of the overhead cabinet in my kitchen without taking my crutch off and leaning it against the counter. The cuffs are lined with a closed-cell sponge shock absorbing pad wrapped in leather to absorb perspiration as well as shock...and they are held in with Velcro so they are easily removed to give you more room to accommodate bulky winter coats or to swim or shower. Elegant Looking: Durable bright dipped anodized finish with a choice of three stock colors; Jet Black, Purple or Silver. Spats Door Guards: These are black plastic sleeves that come installed over the bottom 6" of the crutch. They protect the finish from being chewed up when you stick the crutch under a door to hold it open while you pass through. LiteStix: User weight limit 250 lbs. Super-duty style available with a weight limit of 300 pounds for an up-charge of £50.00 a pair. Call us to discuss.
