Crutch walking casts three times your body weight onto your hands, arms and shoulders with each step. Active crutch users walk 4,000 to 8,000 steps a day adding up to literally tons of negative ground impact forces jarring your bodies every day.

No wonder your shoulders hurt so much!

The essential value of our Fetterman's crutches is the way they protect our upper bodies for the long haul. The patented Tornado/Performance tips and Performance Grips all have Absorbalite™ gel polymer inside. Absorbalite™ Gel has the ability to "eat shock" and transform 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 Superlites just plain feels good!

TORNADO AND PERFORMANCE, SHOCK-ABSORBING, LONG-LASTING, CRUTCH TIPS

Why use a Fetterman's CRUTCH tip ?
Comfort each tip is filled with a shock absorbing gel polymer. Which can take up to three times your body weight and eliminates "crutch shock" which destroys cartilage, bone, tendons and nerves. Performance each tip will provide superior traction because the full bottom of these tips bend over and engage the ground, even at very steep crutch angles. Cost effective Tornado tips have a 2" base diameter and a weight of only 4 ounces each tip will last 2-3 times longer than ordinary tips.
